Brief project summary:
Investigators will build OPeNDAP gateways to two Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) data protocols – Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Feature Service (WFS). Two communities of users will be targeted: the Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) resource manager and resource managers and data providers associated with several of the regional associations. As with all OPeNDAP software the resulting source code will be made freely available to the community. Specifically, investigators will address needs of NOAA's IEA program, with IEA managers serving as the data users and the Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory IEA archive and regional IOOS archives serving as the data providers. In addition to collaboration with NOAA's IEA program, investigators will also collaborate with participants in two regional associations (CenCOOS and MARCOOS) to provide geographic information systems (GIS) access via OGC services to data products from these associations with particular emphasis on HF radar (CODAR)-derived surface current fields. The gateways to be developed will be documented and made freely available to other regional associations.
