Available DAP Servers

Currently available DAP servers:

OPeNDAP netCDF Server makes netCDF data available
OPeNDAP HDF Server makes HDF 4 data available
OPeNDAP RDBS Server makes RDBMS data available (requires JDBC)
OPeNDAP Test Server The test server serves pseudo-data. Very useful when you want to test client software on a data structure for which you don't have an example.
OPeNDAP JGOFS Server makes JGOFS data available
OPeNDAP FreeForm Server Makes data available via DODS using the FreeForm software package. It is easy to use this to serve home-grown data formats.
Unidata Aggregation Server Use this to aggregate multiple data sources. This server works with local netCDF file as well as data accessible from a DAP-compliant server.
COLA GrADS Data Server (GDS) The GDS makes data available using GrADS. The types of data that can be served include GRIB, netCDF, HDF, and GrADS binary.
OPeNDAP Matlab Server makes Matlab binary data available
OPeNDAP DSP Server makes DSP data available
NOAA/PMEL/EPIC Dapper Server makes in-situ data in various netCDF formats available

OPeNDAP servers not yet publicly available:

OPeNDAP HDF5 Server makes HDF 5 data available (Not yet publicly released)
UCAR/HAO CEDAR Server makes CEDAR data available
UCAR/HAO FITS Server makes FITS data available

OPeNDAP server development toolkits:

OPeNDAP C++ Server Development Framework The OPeNDAP C++ implementation contains a DAP API/library and CGI dispatch framework for developing OPeNDAP servers.
OPeNDAP Java Server Development Framework The OPeNDAP Java implementation contains a DAP API and servlet framework for developing OPeNDAP servers.
COLA Anagram (from GDS) Anagram, a Java servlet framework for developing OPeNDAP servers, was developed as part of the GDS.

Anagram

Anagram is a modular Java framework for high-performance scientific data servers, which forms the basis for the GDS version 1.2.

For more information: At present, Anagram 1.0 is available Anagram Sever Framework . For more information, please contact us at support@unidata.ucar.edu.


OPeNDAP Aggregation Server

The main purpose of the OPeNDAP Aggregation Server is to allow the "aggregation" of multiple datasets into one dataset. The Aggregation Server is currently in Beta release. For more information see the OPeNDAP Catalog/Aggregation Server page.

To Download: Go to the OPeNDAP Catalog/Aggregation Server page.


CEDAR Server

The CEDAR Server makes CEDAR data available. This server is not yet publicly available. Send any questions to support@unidata.ucar.edu.


Dapper Server

Dapper makes in-situ data available via the DAP using EPIC tools. See the dapper website for more information or to obtain dapper.

DSP Server

The DSP Server makes DSP data files available. DSP is a file format used by a University of Miami satellite package.

To Download: Go to the DSP Server page.


FITS Server

The FITS Server makes FITS data files available. This server is not yet publicly available. Send any questions to support@unidata.ucar.edu.


FreeForm Server

The FreeForm Server makes data available using the FreeForm software package. FreeForm provides a flexible method for specifying data formats thus allowing the FreeForm server to serve a variety of data formats.

To Download: Go to the FreeForm server page.


GrADS Data Server (GDS)

The GDS makes data available using GrADS. The types of data that can be served include GRIB, netCDF, HDF, and GrADS binary. For more information see the GDS web page.

To Download: Go to the GDS web page.


HDF Server

The HDF Server makes HDF 4 data available.

To Download: Go to the HDF4 server page.


HDF5 Server

The HDF5 Server makes HDF 5 data available. It has not been publicly released, a full test suite needs to be written. Any volunteers to usher the HDF5 server through release please contact us at support@unidata.ucar.edu.

To Download: The HDF5 Server is only available through the OPeNDAP SVN (see SVN or SVN and the Release Process for information on anonymous access).


JGOFS Server

The JGOFS Server makes data from a JGOFS data system available to OPeNDAP clients. (JGOFS data system was developed for the US JGOFS project.)

To Download: Go to the JGOFS server page.


Matlab Server

The Matlab Server makes Matlab binary data available.

To Download: Go to the Matlab serer page.


netCDF Server

The netCDF Server makes netCDF data available.

To Download: Go to the NetCDF server page.


DODS/OPeNDAP Relational Database Server (DRDS)

The DODS/OPeNDAP Relational Database Server (DRDS) makes data contained in a Relational Database system available. (The DRDS uses JDBC to access the data in the RDBMS.)

To Download: Go to the DRDS web page.


DODS/OPeNDAP Test Server (DTS)

The test server serves pseudo-data (i.e., made up by the server but consistent) for any DDS/DAS. Very useful when you want to test client software on a data structure for which you don't have an example.

To Download: Go to the OPeNDAP Java web page and read the README and SERVLETS files.


OPeNDAP C++ Server Development Framework

The OPeNDAP C++ implementation contains a DAP API/library and CGI dispatch framework for developing OPeNDAP servers.

To Download: Go to the DAP++ SDK page.


OPeNDAP Java Server Development Framework
