I have complete a new version of the CF point observation Conventions at:

Discussion is at:

I have incorporated various feedback from the past year, and made a
preliminary implementation

Hello Ed,
To Roy's comment I'll add that I would like to complement in-file metadata with
additional online info, not replace it. E.g. for the tag NT0908 I have a name
"Paraná flooded savanna" which can go in the file, but there is a web page
giving the full characterisation of what is meant by
This is a matter of philosophy and practice, I imagine.
One of the reasons I recommend semantic URIs is that the URI
represents a clue, if by some chance the web is not available or the
information is not served at that URI any more. I think some semantic
description should be included in
Hi Ed,
Establishing on-line metadata resources with permanence is the name of my game.
If I didn't have confidence it would be around in 15 years I wouldn't be
promoting it.
Cheers, Roy.

Hi John,
Yes, there is a URL of the form:
http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/GGS1/current/
that returns all the flags (currently only three as we have yet to fully
populate the vocabulary).
Note the term 'current' in the URL. This specifies that the current version
should be served. However,

Hi Martin,
Building another server might not be the best use of resources. I'm always
happy to extend the content I serve.
Cheers, Roy.

Hello Roy,
That is an interesting idea. There are definitions of these areas on a WWF
site, of the form

Hi Frederic,
Thank you for your input.
Yes there is already a reflectance quantity in CF, but it is the TOA one.
Anyway to me the definition of reflectance in general is probably broader than
in your needs, then I think introducing
"ratio_of_upwelling_radiance_emerging_from_sea_water_to_down
