SCOOP SERVICES
SCOOP is deploying distributed functionality through a service-oriented architecture
using web services. Documentation necessary for users and applications to utilize these
services is available below, grouped by functional categories.
These functions may also be accessed via web interfaces, using the menu links in the
navigation bar at left.
- Catalog Services
-
The catalog services provide access to the SCOOP metadata at the collection level.
Facilities are provided to retrieve valid search parameters, to perform a catalog
search, to retrieve details about a collection, and to return a list of files
that may be downloaded via hyperlinks or ordered from the data
archive site.
- Inventory Services
-
The inventory services provide access to the SCOOP file level information. To provide
security, the catalog site requires SSL connections for insert and delete services.

The model services provide facilities for exploring SCOOP model characteristics and
for determining which collections use the models.
- Storm Services

The storm services provide access to storm track data for previous and current hurricane
seasons. A service is also provided to locate SCOOP data collections which may have
data pertinent to a selected storm.
