We didn't develop the AIA Analytical Data Interchange Protocols (Andi 
Protocols),
we just developed the netCDF data model and software. When the Andi protocols
for chromatography (1992) and mass spectrometry (1994) were developed, I talked 
to Rich Lisakopwski from time to time, who was on the AIA committee that 
established
the standards. He wasn't ever a Unidata staff member, and I don't think he 
developed 
much software.

There's a little more information and some links under an entry about the Andi
protocols here:

   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/usage.html

and they've set up a SourceForge site that might have additional information:

   http://andi.sourceforge.net

That's all I we have at Unidata about that standard.
