Re: [thredds] service types in THREDDS Catalog


        Hi John-

Could the THREDDS catalog be used, then, as a registry for an arbitrary service architecture (especially, REST and SOAP)? Is it a product catalog only or can it be used for service discoverability?

        Thanks,

        -Rob

One has to distinguish THREDDS Catalogs from the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) :

A THREDDS Catalog is an XML file, which can be used by any program or service to describe online data resources. We enumerated some of the common service types in the XML schema as a semi-controlled vocabulary. "semi" because you can place any service type there and the XML will validate against the schema. The service is used to construct the URL for a dataset. The service type tells the consumer of the catalog how to process the dataset URL, eg what protocol to use.
