Searching Scientific Metadata with EMF Search

Capella Datascience integrates with the Eclipse EMF Search engine (via org.polarsys.capella.datascience.netcdf.model.search and search.ui) to search across all NetCDF, NcML, and THREDDS models in the workspace.

Executing a Metadata Search

1. Open the Eclipse Search dialog (Search > Search... or Ctrl+H / Cmd+H).
2. Select the NetCDF / THREDDS Search tab.
3. Enter search patterns for variable names, dimension names, or attribute values (e.g. temperature* or units=kelvin).
4. Click Search. The Search view displays all matching model elements across all workspace datasets.
5. Double-click any search result to open the corresponding dataset and focus on the matched variable or attribute.
