Description:

This package contains the OPeNDAP C++ implementation of the Data
Access Protocol version 2 (DAP2) with some extensions that will be
part of DAP3.

The DAP2 is used to provide a uniform way of accessing a variety of
different types of data across the Internet. It was originally part of
the DODS and then NVODS projects. The focus of those projects was
access to Earth-Science data, so much of the software developed using
the DAP2 to date has centered on that discipline. However, the DAP2
data model is very general (and similar to a modern structured
programming language) so it can be applied to a wide variety of
fields.
