Hello, Some tide effects on sea surface heights elevations are captured by: sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_earth_tide sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_equilibrium_ocean_tide sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_geocentric_ocean_tide

It would seem that the two conflicting requirements, which I'll caricature as rigorous version control and pragmatic usability, could go some way to being reconciled by using term-specific version numbers. Instead of: some_prefix/cf_vocab_number/term (e.g. .../P071/16/CFSN0023) Or:

Hello Jeff, I have asked our senior scientist which one to use to describe the predicted water level and he suggested that we use: sea_surface_height_amplitude_due_to_equilibrium_ocean_tide Thank you all very much, Mohamed On 12/17/2010 12:32 PM, Jeff deLaBeaujardiere wrote: Mohamed, do

While I appreciate the argument that having a single unique string to represent each concept in earth science would be ideal, I can promise that no matter what we do with versioning of terms, in 10 years there will be a plethora of URIs representing any given concept (more or less). Hate to
