THREDDS Data Server (TDS)

The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) provides metadata and data access to scientific datasets. Datasets can be served through OPeNDAP, OGC's WMS and WCS, HTTP, and other remote data access protocols. It can be configured to aggregate a collection of datasets so the collection is seen as a single dataset when viewed through the various data access protocols. The TDS is a server-based system that can be easily installed in any servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.

For more information about the TDS, see the TDS web page at

THREDDS Catalogs

THREDDS Catalogs can be thought of as representing logical directories of on-line data resources. They are encoded as XML and provide a place for annotations and other metadata about the data resources. These XML documents are how THREDDS-enabled data consumers find out what data is available from data providers.

THREDDS Catalog documentation (including the specification) is available at
