#95: Development of CF 1.5 Data Model -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: markh | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by davidhassell): Hello Mark, I think I see your point about the ordering, but perhaps for different reasons? The domain axes don't need to be ordered, because they have identities other than their size (independently of any associtated coordinates). The field then needs, just like a coordinate or cell measure, to have an ordered list of domain axes which match up with its array's dimensions. Perhaps we could say that a field contains: * An ('''unordered''') set of zero or more domain axis constructs. * A data array whose shape is determined by an '''ordered''' subset of the domain axes. Only domain axes of size 1 may be omitted. If no domain axes are given then data array is a scalar. Domain axes of size one can be omitted because their position in the order of domain axes makes no difference to the order of data elements inthe array. The elements of the data array must all be of the same data type, which may be numeric, character or string. * etc. All the best, David -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:36> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
