Hi Emanuele and Sean,
There are other approaches to doing at least part of what you suggest.
For example, if you use the WCS or WMS interface to a THREDDS Data Server,
you can make your request in coordinate (lat/long) space. At one point, it
was possible to request the output in certain dialects of XML. In
particular NcML and NcML-GML. I'm not sure option for these formats is
still supported in the more recent versions of the TDS, but we are working
on a draft standard for such an encoding in the OpenGeospatial Consortium.
I am working on two projects that may have a bearing on your needs. One
involved writing python clients for WMS and WCS. The other involves using
a technology called brokering that could run in concert with your TDS to
produce the XML output if it is no longer an option in the TDS.
Unfortunately these projects are under development so they may not be of
help immediately, but it will be good for us to keep your needs in mind as
a practical use case.
Also note that we are working with Stefano Nativi's team at the Italian CNR
on these projects. Perhaps you know Stefano.
