<p>The aim of this module is to define a new coverage framework which will allow to get access to multidimensional coverages (containing also Time and Elevation dimensions).</p>

<h1>Module Status</h1>

<p>The framework is actually composed of the main coverage-api module, the coverage-core, as well as several plugins to access multidimensional data such as, NetCDF, HDF4 and Grib1.<br />
All of them leverage on the ImageIO-Ext 1.1 plugins which provide low-level access to multidimensional datasets by means of the <a href="http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/">Unidata NetCDF Java Library 4</a>. (Actually supported formats: NetCDF, HDF4 (APS and Terascan Products), GRIB1)</p>

<h1>Module overview</h1>

<h2>Coverage API</h2>

<p>The main module of the framework is the coverage-api which defines a set of interfaces to access coverages. <img class="confluence-embedded-image" src="/download/attachments/231080019/coverage-api.gif?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1369230613347" data-image-src="/download/attachments/231080019/coverage-api.gif?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1369230613347" data-linked-resource-id="231375134" data-linked-resource-type="attachment" data-linked-resource-default-alias="coverage-api.gif" data-base-url="http://docs.codehaus.org" data-linked-resource-container-id="231080019" title="null > coverage-api.gif"></p>

<h2>Coverage Core</h2>

<p>This module provides default implementation for the coverage-api interfaces, as well as core objects used to handle spatio-temporal information exposed as metadata. <img class="confluence-embedded-image" src="/download/attachments/231080019/coverage-core.gif?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1369230613324" data-image-src="/download/attachments/231080019/coverage-core.gif?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1369230613324" data-linked-resource-id="231375133" data-linked-resource-type="attachment" data-linked-resource-default-alias="coverage-core.gif" data-base-url="http://docs.codehaus.org" data-linked-resource-container-id="231080019" title="null > coverage-core.gif"></p>

<h2>ND-Plugins</h2>

<p>Actually, there are 3 plugins implementing the framework:</p>
<ul class="alternate">
	<li>HDF4</li>
	<li>GRIB1</li>
	<li>NetCDF</li>
</ul>
