The Data Access Protocol — DAP 2.0

This document defines the OPeNDAP Data Access Protocol (DAP), a data transmission protocol designed specifically for science data. The protocol relies on the widely used and stable HTTP and MIME standards, and provides data types to accommodate gridded data, relational data, and time series, as well as allowing users to define their own data types.

This DAP2 Description submitted to NASA Earth Science Enterprise Software Process Group has now been accepted as a Recommended Standard.
