T,
Actually its OPeNDAP, not OPenDAP.
And it stands for: Open-source Project for Network Data Access Protocol.
Regarding your question about the capitalization of the letter "P" in
the acronym, I think that a more compelling question is: Why is there a
lower case "e"?
For quite some time I thought that it was "OpenDAP = Open Data Access
Protocol". I was however, misinformed.
As to your final question, I suspect that a violent revolution could be
triggered by changing the capitalization of the acronym at this time.
Cheers,
Nathan
PS - I pointed out to James that the opendap.org web site does not
contain the expansion of the acronym and he said he would address this
oversight.

It's driving me nuts, and I can't find it anywhere. Why is the P in
OPenDAP capitalised? Does anyone mind if I call it OpenDAP instead? :)
