Description

Description of Feature:

Create a default viewer for Zarr datasets.

Creating a generic viewer may be challenging, in part because Zarr have have many dimensions, and chunking choices may strongly impact how responsive a viewer can be (along various dimensions).

What value is this feature adding to Source Cooperative?

There are many data products that include Zarr files. A viewer would be helpful in determining what dimensions exist and the spatial and temporal intervals of the dataset.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by surveying the TypeScript web interface and existing dataset views, then determine how Zarr dimensions, spatial intervals, temporal intervals, and chunking constraints should be represented. Done should include an agreed scope for a default Zarr viewer and a clear validation approach.
