Description:
The Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb) 〈http://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov〉 data browsing system provides plotting, listing and open access v ia FTP, HTTP, and web services (REST, SOAP, OPeNDAP) for data from mo st NASA Heliophysics missions and is heavily used by the community. C ombining data from many instruments and missions enables broad resear ch analysis and correlation and coordination with other experiments a nd missions. Crucial to its effectiveness is the use of a standard se lf-describing data format, in this case, the Common Data Format (CDF) 〈http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov〉, also developed at the Space Physics Data facility 〈http://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov〉 , and the use of metadata standa rds (easily edited with SKTeditor 〈http://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/skteditor/〉). CDAweb is based on a set of IDL routines, CDAWlib 〈http://spd f.gsfc.nasa.gov/CDAWlib.html〉. . The CDF project also maintains soft ware and services for translating between many standard formats (CDF. netCDF, HDF, FITS, XML) 〈!〈http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/dtws.html〉.
