FCLib: A library for building data analysis and data discovery tools
In this paper we describe a data analysis toolkit constructed to meet the needs of data discovery in large scale spatio-temporal data. The toolkit is a C library of building blocks that can be assembled into data analyses. Our goals were to build a toolkit which is easy to use, is applicable to a wide variety of science domains, supports feature-based analysis, and minimizes low-level processing. The discussion centers on the design of a data model and interface that best supports these goals and we present three usage examples. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
