public class DAS extends AttributeTable implements java.lang.Cloneable
lat
variable has an
attribute units
of degrees_north
.
Attributes may have arbitrary names, although in most datasets it is important to choose these names so a reader will know what they describe. In the above example, theAttributes { GLOBAL { String title "Reynolds Optimum Interpolation (OI) SST"; } lat { String units "degrees_north"; String long_name "Latitude"; Float64 actual_range 89.5, -89.5; } lon { String units "degrees_east"; String long_name "Longitude"; Float64 actual_range 0.5, 359.5; } time { String units "days since 1-1-1 00:00:00"; String long_name "Time"; Float64 actual_range 726468., 729289.; String delta_t "0000-00-07 00:00:00"; } sst { String long_name "Weekly Means of Sea Surface Temperature"; Float64 actual_range -1.8, 35.09; String units "degC"; Float64 add_offset 0.; Float64 scale_factor 0.0099999998; Int32 missing_value 32767; } }
GLOBAL
attribute provides
information about the entire dataset.
Data attribute information is an important part of the the data
provided to a OPeNDAP client by a server, and the DAS is how this
data is packaged for sending (and how it is received).DDS

public void resolveAliases() throws MalformedAliasException, UnresolvedAliasException, NoSuchAttributeException
DAS
for Alias members. When an Alias is found the method attempts to
resolve it to a specific Attribute.
This method is invoked by parse(InputStream is)
, and is
used to search for Aliases in AttributeTables found in the DAS.
If you are building a DAS from it's API it is important to call
this method prior to returning said DAS to an application. If
this call is not made, Aliases will not work correctly.
