33.2 Long-term plans for Unidata data access infrastructure

Plans for two years and beyond are uncertain, but may include:

In general, move successful netCDF-Java features into C-based APIs:

Plug-in extension framework for C-based APIs to support reading other data formats through a common data model interface
Automatic data packing using _Scale and _Offset attributes

Support for additional HDF5 types, including references, to permit reading NPOESS data
Addition of asynchronous I/O facilities for DAP and local access
