Dear all Although CF is primarily a file format convention, we often have in mind a logical data model for CF data while we are discussing modifications and extensions to CF. In principle the data model can be separated from the mechanics, restrictions and requirements of netCDF itself, and could apply to other file formats. In http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~jonathan/CF_metadata/cfdm.html I have outlined my perception of the CF data model. I know this is not the only such description. For example, libcf implicitly has a CF data model, but it is generally more low-level, it seems to me. I may well be completely unaware of other relevant documents, and I'd be grateful to hear of them, and in any case for comments on my version of the data model. Would it be useful to write down a data model as part of the CF standard document, I wonder?
