Hello Dominic and all, MMI maintains an SKOS-based representation of the CF standard names at the MMI Ontology Registry and Repository (ORR): http://mmisw.org/ont/cf/parameter In your browser, this URL will open the ontology in the ORR Portal. You can click the Versions button to see a history of the versions we have at the ORR. You can use content negotiation or an extension to request a particular format, eg: http://mmisw.org/ont/cf/parameter.rdf http://mmisw.org/ont/cf/parameter.n3
You can find more details about the SKOS representation, mappings, Web resolution of terms, and SPARQL queries involving the CF ontology at: http://marinemetadata.org/orrcf . We would appreciate much any feedback to improve this service and the documentation.
