What is a DAP Server?
DAP is a Geosoft server technology that exposes the contents of earth science data repositories over networks. In particular, DAP is distinguished by its ability to host extremely large catalogues of data, each of which may also be very large. DAP provides for extremely fast metadata discovery, data visualization and data delivery. You will find government DAP servers that host national data sets and enterprises that use internal DAP servers to make corporate spatial data discoverable and accessible to their own teams.
