Hi John,
Brian and I are working on implementing an ideal way to get data from a
relational database that contains in situ measurements from platforms that
produce mostly trajectory feature type data. We've put the data into a
GeoSpatial RDBMS so that we can take advantage of the arbitrary column and
spatial indexing capabilities.
We have a web application that provides previews of the data and can generate
urls for service calls (much like erddap). We would like our users to load the
data via such a service call directly into tools that use netcdf-java.
If there is some way to make the metadata consistent perhaps we can discuss
that...
Best regards,
Mike
