	libdap is a C++ implementation of OPeNDAP which allows access to
	data over the internet, from programs that weren't originally
	designed for that purpose, as well as some that were.  While OPeNDAP
	s the original developer of the Data Access Protocol (DAP) which
	it's software uses, many other groups have adopted DAP and provide
	compatible clients, servers and software development kits. DAP is a
	NASA community standard: http://www.esdswg.org/spg/rfc/ese-rfc-004
