Kevin,
Just to follow up on Roy's comments: GI-CAT will harvest either the
THREDDS metadata or the ncISO metadata (THREDDS or THREDDS-ncISO).
ncISO has the advantage that if your data is CF-compliant, the
geographic and time extents will be computed directly from the
coordinate variables in the THREDDS datasets.
See my 5 minute instructional video here for how to set up GI-CAT to
harvest THREDDS ncISO metadata. Soon to go viral! ;-)
