 The configuration file describes an actual implementation of a web application based on METAMOD 2.x software. First of all, the file lists which of the six modules that are used in the application. Any combination of the four modules is allowed. If the METAMODBASE module is not a part of an application, the configuration file must identify a database owned by another application where the METAMODBASE module is used. In this way, several applications may share the same database.  The configuration file describes an actual implementation of a web application based on METAMOD 2.x software.

-The software is implemented on a Linux system with Apache web server. PHP is used to implement dynamic web content, and Perl is used to implement tasks not directly involving web content generation. The database is based on PostgreSQL. Metadata elements use controlled vocabularies from GCMD and CF1.0 as well as WMO keywords. Tools for extracting metadata from NetCDF/CF files are part of METAMODUPLOAD. Access to the actual data files are provided as links from the web pages generated by the METAMODSEARCH module. +The software is implemented in Perl on a Linux system with Apache web server (as proxy). Catalyst is used to implement dynamic web content, including PMH and other webservices.

 The local data repository is an ordinary file system where files are orginized in catalogs according to institutions (data providers) and data sets. The catalogs and files must be accessible through URLs. This can be done using HTTP, FTP, OPeNDAP or a combination of these protocols. The DAMOCLES application use a THREDDS Data Server (giving OPeNDAP and HTTP access). If the data files satisfy OGC standards, THREDDS may also provide OGC WCS access. The local data repository is an ordinary file system where files are orginized in catalogs according to institutions (data providers) and data sets.
