Our project goal is to develop software to access HDF5 data via OPeNDAP software framework. OPeNDAP is a software framework that simplifies scientific data transfer, allowing simple access to remote data. Local HDF5 data can be made accessible to remote locations by using this OPeNDAP HDF5 server. Existing data analysis and visualization applications can be transformed into OPeNDAP clients that access remote HDF5 data served by OPeNDAP HDF5 server.
