Hello Jonathan

Would you be content, for now, to list the type names from ticket 68, with a 
short definition statement of what they are on the wiki page? 

I thought to do this, but I found it hard to distil a short definition for each 
one from the text you posted, and I do not want to put words into your keyboard.

I would like to have a single point of contact for potential names so we can 
discuss options and try to agree on a common terminology.  I am aware of the 
risks of people involved in discussions using terms to mean subtly different 
things and I am very keen to mitigate this risk.

many thanks
mark

As we have already discussed, I think we could certainly work on the CF data
model on a wiki page. However, I would also remind people that there is already
a proposal for the CF data model, in ticket 68, which David and I proposed and
of which you are the moderator. There has already been some discussion on the
ticket https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/68. I think we should continue
with this existing proposal and ticket.

If it would help, I can convert the content of the existing proposal from
http://www.met.rdg.ac.uk/~jonathan/CF_metadata/cfdm.html into a wiki page
to facilitate discussion of it.

Best wishes

Jonathan
