Element Description

The type of the service being described. These types of services are back-end service types. 

Best Practices

Curators must use the controlled list for the type of service. 

• OPeNDAP: A type of service that enables researchers to access and share NASA Earth science data from a wide variety of programs. For more information, see https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/engage/open-data-services-and-software/api/opendap
• THREDDS: A type of service that provides researchers with access to a large collection of real-time and archived dataset from a variety of environmental data sources at a number of distributed server sites. For more information, see https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/tds/ 
• WEB SERVICES: A type of interoperable machine-to-machine software function that is hosted at a network addressable location. A web service has an interface that hides the implementation details so that it can be used independently of the hardware or software platform on which it is implemented and independently of the programming language in which it is written.
