What is Anagram?
Anagram is a prototype framework designed to ease the development of the diverse data servers which will be needed as the community moves towards distributed data processing. It provides a collection of reusable components that address the needs common to high-performance scientific data servers. In particular, Anagram can greatly facilitate the development of new servers that support the OPeNDAP (a.k.a. DODS) subsetting protocol on a diverse range of back-end data storage formats. What servers are based on Anagram? Anagram is the basis for version 1.2 of the GDS (GrADS Data Server), which currently handles over 2 million hits per month at various sites. A Ferret DODS Server has also been developed at PMEL. What is DODS? DODS (Distributed Oceanographic Data System), also known as OPeNDAP (Open source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol) is a software framework used for data networking. DODS provides tools for making local data accessible to remote locations regardless of local s
