Description: The Data Access Protocol (DAP) is a data transmission protocol
        designed specifically for science data. The protocol relies on the
        widely used HTTP and MIME standards, and provides data types to
        accommodate gridded data, relational data, and time series, as well
        as allowing users to define their own data types.
        
        This module implements a DAP client that can access remote datasets
        stored in DAP servers. The client downloads metadata describing the
        datasets, and builds array-like objects that act as proxies for the
        data. These objects download the data from the server transparently
        when necessary.
        
        The module also implements a DAP server, able to serve data from
        different formats through a plugin architecture. The server is
        implemented as a WSGI application, and can be run on a variety of
        servers: as a CGI script; with Twisted and mod_python; or even as
        a ISAPI extension under IIS; for example.
