General:  During the past 3 years many state-of-the-art systems have been developed to bridge gaps between users and data resources, completely replacing the old download-reformat-display paradigm.  A leader in the development of innovative approaches has been the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) which focuses on melding environmental datasets into mapping systems.  Because self-describing formats (HDF, GRIB, NetCDF) are such important formats in these recent developments, general methods for their use are also included here.  And more recently the author has begun adding methods here that access statistical or graphical products from large data assemblies, without any need for further management work.
