Additional DODS Core Attributes
DODS servers also allow:
- Dereferencing of DODS URLs in the constrained expression.
- Server side functions
- These functions define transformations that can be applied to
the data by the user.
- They are requested as part of the constraint in the URL.
- Server side functions are used in the request made to the file server
of the TOPEX sea height data:
DODS_URL,DODS_Decimal_Year(time)&date("1995.0","1996.0")
So the request for the data in the file server is:
http://dods.gso.uri.edu/cgi-bin/nph-ff/catalog/topex_05deg.catalog.asc?DODS_URL,DODS_Decimal_Year(time)&date("1995.0","1996.0")
