-----------------------------------
Summary: Build a parser to extract data from GRIB formats
Key: TIKA-1423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1423
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: metadata, mime, parser
Affects Versions: 1.6
Reporter: Vineet Ghatge
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 1.7
Arctic dataset contains a MIME format called GRIB - General
Regularlydistributed information in Binary form
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRIB . GRIB is a well known data format which is a
concise data format used in meteorology to store historical and
weather data. There are 2 different types of the format GRIB 0, GRIB 2. The
focus will be on GRIB 2 which is the most prevalent. Each GRIB record intended
for either transmission or storage contains a single parameter with values
located at an array of grid points, or represented as a set of spectral
coefficients, for a single level (or layer), encoded as a continuous bit
stream. Logical divisions of the record are designated as "sections", each of
which provides control information and/or data. A GRIB record consists of six
sections, two of which are optional:
(0) Indicator Section
(1) Product Definition Section (PDS)
(2) Grid Description Section (GDS) optional
(3) Bit Map Section (BMS) optional
(4) Binary Data Section (BDS)
(5) '7777' (ASCII Characters)
