getMetadataModel

getMetadataModel( ) → MetadataModel

return a MetadataModel object that can make the metadata canonical. For example, ISTPMetadataModel interprets the metadata returned from CDF files, but this same model can be used with HDF files. This returns a null model that does no interpretation, and some data sources will override this.

Returns:

an org.autoplot.datasource.MetadataModel

getProperties

getProperties( ) → Map

return metadata in canonical form using the metadata model. If there are no properties or a null model, then an empty map is returned. Note, getMetadataModel should return non-null, and getMetadata should return non-null, but this guards against the mistake.

Returns:

a java.util.Map
