#107: CF Data Model 1.7 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: markh | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by markh): I would like to raise a concern regarding the proposed text for [wiki:Ticket107Text9Nov13Properties properties]. There is explicit mention of: * Conventions * history * title * featureType as property names valid for Field instances. The CF-NetCDF conventions describe these as file attributes, not valid for individual data variables, in [http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf- conventions/1.6/apa.html Appendix A]. I can see how featureType and Conventions could be treated as spanning across data variables, and the 'file only' constraint for NetCDF files being a logical extension of how CF instances are encode in NetCDF. As such I am not concerned by these two. However, the use of history and title is inherited from the [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf.html#Attribute- Conventions NUG] and their use is heavily linked to files, collections of Fields. As the data model does not have a sense of 'a collection of fields' I suggest that these are removed from the data model and put into the list of reserved property names, not to be used except in NetCDF files. -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/107#comment:15> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
