   package ucar.nc2.ft : Scientific Feature Types


Scientific feature types package
 These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific feature" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:

FeatureType: atomic type usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
Collection: a homogeneous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
Dataset: one or more Collections of a particular FeatureType, with dataset metadata.

 A FeatureDataset and VariableSimpleIF are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.
