Many scientific data sets are represented in netcdf format
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/).  Kepler should be able to read
and expose data from these formats via a DataSource actor similar in concept to
the EML, DarwinCore, RBNB, and OpenDAP actors.

Common libraries for parsing netcdf are available, including a Java library
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/).
