Comment (by mgschultz):

 Dear Jonathan,

 this text looks good to me -- except that the relation between the data
 array dimensions and the domain axes is not stated at all. If I understood
 the discussion correctly, then this is considered an aspect of the
 implementation. That's fine, but the data model description should say
 this! I expect that many people who wish to use the data model will wonder
 about this relation.

 Here is my suggestion:
 '''Field construct'''
 [...]
 Collectively, the domain axis, dimension coordinate, auxiliary coordinate,
 cell measure and cell method constructs describe the domain in which the
 data resides. Thus a field construct can be regarded as a domain with data
 in that domain. ''The relation between domain axes and the shape of the
 data array must be defined by the implementing software.''

 Best regards,

 Martin
