Roy,
Briefly scanning that page it looks like this gist of it is that one
could use NcML to add/complete a "Unidata Dataset Discovery v1.0" set
of metadata to a data set. THis could then be harvested by the TDS, or
by other software that understood the "Unidata Dataset Discovery v1.0"
convention.
Is that the general idea?

Greetings,
I have some questions about the origin of the
thredds:geospaptialCoverage element that is commonly found in
THREDDS catalogs. It is my understanding that:
- The TDS can generate this metadata element by interrogating
certain types of source data files.
- People that write their own THREDDS catalog files to be served by
the TDS can add the thredds:geospaptialCoverage metadata directly
to their catalogs (using whatever process they wish).
Is the thredds:geospaptialCoverage also something that can be added
through normal channels in NcML augmented data sets?
