#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 jonathan): Dear all I agree with Bryan, Karl and David. Helpful software may combine the contents of attributes, but as far as the data model is concerned, I have always understood the convention of "variable attribute takes precedence" to mean that the global att can be ignored if the variable has its own att. The global att is a default for all variables in the file and is therefore irrelevant when a default is not required. In Jon's terms, I think that means the att can be inherited and overridden but is not aggregated. Of course this is not true of most CF atts - only the ones which are permitted both as global and variable atts.
