#74: Allow sharing of ancillary variables among multiple data variables ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: "ancillary data" "standard name modifiers" ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by [email protected]): Folks: I think this is where we are: (1) staus_flag and number_of_observations become a special type of standard_name, and become the standard name of the applicable ancillary variable. (2) these special standard_names are associated with ancillary variables that provide status or number of observations for two or more other data variables in the same data set. (3) these other data variables must include the "ancillary_variables" attribute set to the variable name of the relevant ancillary variable. Has converge of an approach to allow sharing of a status_flag or number_of_observation ancillary variable been reached ? One other question that comes to mind ... Is this syntax used only when an ancillary variable is associated with more than one data variable ? very respectfully, randy -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/74#comment:33> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
