As for standard names, MMI established a set of URIs at http://marinemetadata.org/cf but has not been keeping up to date. I have written a XSL transform at http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/ontologies/xslt/.cfsn2rdf.xsl that can be applied to http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standard-name-table/16/cf-standard-name-table.xml to generate an up-to-date version, e.g. xsltproc http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/ontologies/xslt/.cfsn2rdf.xsl http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standard-name-table/16/cf-standard-name-table.xml On the other hand, Roy has created opaque URIs for standard names at http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/P07/9 contains all the Standard Names that > have ever been published, including names that have been aliased > > http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/P071/9 contains the Standard Names that > are currently valid (i.e. those that have not been deprecated through > aliasing) > > http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/P072/9 contains the Standard Names that > have been deprecated through aliasing > > The mapping between deprecates and their replacement aliases my be obtained > through the following API call > > > http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/axis2/services/vocab/getMap?subjectList=http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/P072/current&predicate=255&objectList=http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/P071/current&inference=false > he changes them with each version, so it is both more definitive and harder to use. It is also pure SKOS, so one needs to add structure to actually connect it with a CF-described dataset. I plan to write out a map between the two, so that I can use his relationships between CF standard_names, but I do not have it yet. Additional information and ontologies describing the CF structure both as attributes and conceptually are available at http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/ontologies/, including the connections between the standard_name ontologies and the CF structure.
