Rishi Verma commented on TIKA-1577:
-----------------------------------
Thanks Annie and Chris.
Chris - what do you mean by "tabular"? Were you thinking about an HTML table
representation instead? If so, what are your ideas on representing
three-dimensional (and higher) arrays using HTML tables? I was leaning on UL/LI
because it was the approach already being utilized by the existing Tika netCDF
variable content extraction code (i.e. for attribute extraction) and because a
two-tag list structure is much easier think about than a three-tag table
structure when applied to n-dimensional arrays. For example, UL/LI's are often
nested (and developers expect them to be) whereas HTML tables are often used
with a maximum of two-dimensions.
Thoughts?
> NetCDF Data Extraction

> Key: TIKA-1577
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1577
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: handler, parser
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Ann Burgess
> Assignee: Ann Burgess
> Labels: features, handler
> Fix For: 1.9
>
> Original Estimate: 504h
> Remaining Estimate: 504h

> A netCDF classic or 64-bit offset dataset is stored as a single file
> comprising two parts:
> - a header, containing all the information about dimensions, attributes, and
> variables except for the variable data;
> - a data part, comprising fixed-size data, containing the data for variables
> that don't have an unlimited dimension; and variable-size data, containing
> the data for variables that have an unlimited dimension.
> The NetCDFparser currently extracts the "header part".
> -- text extracts file Dimensions and Variables
> -- metadata extracts Global Attributes
> We want the option to extract the "data part" of NetCDF files.
> Lets use the NetCDF test file for our dev testing:
> tika/tika-parsers/src/test/resources/test-documents/sresa1b_ncar_ccsm3_0_run1_200001.nc
