Dear all,
here is my daily fanpost (don't worry I will be quiet again at some
point;-):
in the discussion document on "discrete sampling geometries" a
recommendation is made to introduce a CF:featureType attribute (with values of
point, timeSeries, trajectory, etc.). While this is very reasonable in
principle, it opens up the name space for CF attributes. Rule 2.3 for checking
CF compliance says:
"2.3 Naming Conventions
Requirements:
* Variable, dimension and attribute names must begin with a letter and be
composed of letters, digits, and underscores.
"
Thus, the colon in the attribute name would constitute a violation of this
rule.
A minor issue: why did you choose attribute names which begin with lower
case characters but have upper case chars embedded in the name? Wouldn't it be
more logical to say "TimeSeries" instead of "timeSeries"?
Cheers,
Martin
