ncdump ignores OPeNDAP attributes. #152

Closed hyoklee closed 8 years ago

hyoklee commented 9 years ago

Would you please handle attributes as well by parsing DAS output, not just DDS?

WardF commented 9 years ago

I'll leave this to @dmh , our OPeNDAP expert, to address.

DennisHeimbigner commented 9 years ago

Can you please explain in more detail? Internally, the DAS is parsed. Do you see a specific bug?

hyoklee commented 9 years ago

I don't see any global attribute in "CoreMetadata" DAS container in the following output. Please look at the bottom of this comment to see the missing part.

I am not sure how you want to represent these missing attributes in the netcdf file. For example: if I look at this: CoreMetadata { OrbitNumber { Int32 Value 375; String Data_Location "PGE"; String Mandatory "FALSE"; }... Neither CoreMetdata nor OrbitNumber is a variable. So that means you want these inserted as some kind of global attribute, correct? How do you think that the OrbitNumber information should be represented in the netcdf file?

Yes, I want them inserted as global attributes. You can follow what netCDF-Java does. For example,

int32 CoreMetadata.Orbit_number.Value 375
