#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): Replying to [comment:72 pbentley]: Hi Phil, I think you're right that the conventions don't state this behaviour explicitly, but I think that the conventions' statement "When an attribute appears both globally and as a variable attribute, the variable's version has precedence" does directly imply that a global attribute is applicable to all data variables, unless a particular data variable overrides it with a new value that is true for that data variable only. Since global attributes are "intended to provide information about where the data came from and what has been done to it", if they don't apply to the data variables in the dataset, what are they for, I wonder ... (something tells me that I'm overlooking something glaringly obvious - if so, do let me know!).
