Field Detail

id

public java.lang.String id

Dataset identifier. This value is used to identify the dataset in many of the methods of CoordinatedDataAnalysisSystem.

label

public java.lang.String label

Dataset label.

startTime

public java.util.Date startTime

Earliest time of dataset.

endTime

public java.util.Date endTime

Latest time of dataset.

piName

public java.lang.String piName

Principle Investigator (PI) name.

piAffiliation

public java.lang.String piAffiliation

PI Affiliation.

notesUrl

public java.lang.String notesUrl

URL to notes about the dataset. null if no "master" notes exist for this dataset (similar information may be available within each data file).

links

public DatasetLink[] links

Links to the dataset data. This is typically only set for data which is not available locally to CDAS or for which CDAS doesn't have convienent remote access to. That is, if the data isn't available locally on CDAS and CDAS can't easily access it remotely, then these links may point to where the data can be obtained.
