+libdap is a C++ implementation of OPeNDAP which allows access to data over the
+internet, from programs that weren't originally designed for that purpose, as
+well as some that were. While OPeNDAP is the original developer of the Data
+Access Protocol (DAP) which it's software uses, many other groups have adopted
+DAP and provide compatible clients, servers and software development kits.
+DAP is a NASA community standard: http://www.esdswg.org/spg/rfc/ese-rfc-004
