Dear all,
during the recent discussion on "compound_name" as additional tag in the
standard_names.xml file and in relation to track ticket #90 it occurred to me
that another useful addition could be to express the "need" of certain variable
attributes in this table as well. This refers to the attempt of creating a
"CF-1.6-strict" standard which would have more things mandatory in order to
better support interoperable applications.
One example (related to the new emission standard_names) could be:
-<entry id="
tendency_of_atmosphere_mass_content_of_alcohols_due_to_emission_from_industrial_processes_and_combustion">
<compound_name>Alcohols</compound_name>
<compound_codelist>http://rdfdata.eionet.europa.eu/airquality/components/??</compound_codelist<http://rdfdata.eionet.europa.eu/airquality/components/??%3c/compound_codelist>>
# ??
<canonical_units>kg m-2 s-1</canonical_units>
<description>"..." </description>
<required_attributes>None</required_attributes>
<recommended_attributes>emission_sector, emission_sector_reference,
compound_group_members</recommended_attributes>
<optional_attributes>comments</optional_attributes>
</entry>
The idea is that "optional" refers to "could" in the description, "recommended"
to "should", and "required" to "shall".
Best regards,
Martin
