Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-1577:
-----------------------------------------

Agreed, if we can reuse this, then great. The one catch is that I'm not sure 
that dump capability generates a table or something in an XHTML representation 
which is our basis representation in Tika. I would like us to consider the 
output of this issue to be:

- TikaParser generates XHTML tabular and other elements that represent the data 
in the NetCDF file
- we create like a ScientificContentHandler that can then take that output from 
the parser (in the data section) and then format it e.g., like NCDump. 

Sound good?

> A netCDF classic or 64-bit offset dataset is stored as a single file 
> comprising two parts:
>  - a header, containing all the information about dimensions, attributes, and 
> variables except for the variable data;
>  - a data part, comprising fixed-size data, containing the data for variables 
> that don't have an unlimited dimension; and variable-size data, containing 
> the data for variables that have an unlimited dimension.
> The NetCDFparser currently extracts the "header part".  
>  -- text extracts file Dimensions and Variables
>  -- metadata extracts Global Attributes
> We want the option to extract the "data part" of NetCDF files.  
> Lets use the NetCDF test file for our dev testing:  
> tika/tika-parsers/src/test/resources/test-documents/sresa1b_ncar_ccsm3_0_run1_200001.nc
