Dear all
This document has been written within the scope of Mersea 
(http://www.mersea.eu.org <http://www.mersea.eu.org/>)
It gives guidelines (our feedback) to Mersea data provider on which 
OpenDAP to select, how to find easily the information  as well as our 
feedback on the Grads and Aggregation Data Server (GDS and AS) for 
installation, configuration & Mersea federating operations.
It is in a draft version and *we still are in an iteration process to 
produce a good reference document. *For any correction or 
enhancements, please iterate with webmaster-mersea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 
<mailto:webmaster-mersea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>  and help us improve this 
reference document.
Note:
The current release of the document is available at 
http://w3.mersea.eu.org/html/remote_sensing/framework.html#distribution  
where you will find also all information on our
    common unified framework for product coherency and standardisation
    which is needed to facilitate the visibility, understanding and
    exchange of the ocean observing data.
Thank your for your feedback
Frederique

Hi Frederique:
FYI, we plan to replace the Aggregation Server with equivilent 
functionality in the THREDDS Data Server, probably in the next 6 months. 
The configuration will be somewhat different and hopefully easier. We 
will not support the AS after that point, and encourage people to wait 
if possible.
Regards,
John Caron
