The Marine and Climate Data Discovery and Access Project (MACDDAP) is working to integrate large marine and climate data sets that are distributed across Australian research institutions. The objective is to provide web based facilities that will help researchers collect, combine, and analyse relevant data across scientific disciplines, and, ultimately, to facilitate knowledge discovery for marine and climate related applications.
MACDDAP is funded by the National eResearch Architecture Taskforce (NeAT) under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). One of the sub-projects within MACDDAP is working to develop a spatial data aggregator, which will allow researchers to combine distributed (OPeNDAP accessible) data without the need to understand the underlying data structures.
The Aggregator is accessible via the web at the following URL:
