About Isdat

Isdat is a client-server system for accessing scientific data, primarily developed for and by the Wave Experiment Consortium on the Cluster satellites. The server part of Isdat has modules to read various kinds of data, which are then presented in a unified format to the clients. On the client side, there is a high-level generic browser client, igr, several specialized clients and APIs not only for C but also for Matlab, IDL and Java. This gives a tremendous flexibility for getting data from various sources (ISDAT servers, which may be spread around the globe) in a unified way.

ISDAT runs on most Unix systems, including not only Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and HP-UX but also MacOsX. It also runs on VMS, and ISDAT clients are able to run under Cygwin on MS Windows. ISDAT is distributed as source code, which after some user configuration is built using Imake. The ISDAT core can be distributed freely, though some server modules for reading data from specific instruments can be proprietary. The ISDAT server includes possibilities for access control.
