#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 bnl): Replying to [comment:79 rhattersley]: > Consider a CF-netCDF compliant file containing a single data variable. It is perfectly compliant to define both a global "comment" attribute and a data variable "comment" attribute containing different information. Good point. > It's a worrying consequence of the all-attributes-are-really-data- attributes approach that it renders the global attribute meaningless. I think that's stretching the point a bit far. It's certainly true that one needs to think a bit harder about what it means to "take precedence". This example clearly indicates that it should not mean destroy. There is room to argue that this means one should allow variables to inherit two types of attributes (with semantic distinction between them). I personally don't think it needs semantic distinction, but concede that this example may have pushed me out of my comfort zone. -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:80> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
