Is the DODS data model adequate for datasets to be served in the region, and if not, what additions are required?
When asked whether the DODS data model was adequate, participants at the five workshops saw no major flaws in the DODS data model. Some workshop participants suggested the DODS data model be modified to handle maps, graphs, images stored in GIF or JPEG format, and animation data types.
Some secondary data model issues also arose. For example, it is easy to use the DODS data model to transport satellite swath data, but most users want these data in more typical projections that require further processing. The requirement of further processing could be considered a data model issue.
