Hi Karl, Please see new thread
Are ensembles a compelling use case for "group-aware" metadata? It is a thinly veiled reference to CMIP5, which I don't mention by name so as not to associate it/you with our proposal. Nevertheless, many on the list know what CMIP5 is and it has helped climate models become a useful demonstration of data processing paradigms, so I hope you don't mind the close parallels between my example and CMIP5. Corey chimed-in on how he uses groups with NASA data. Maybe others will too? cz Le 18/09/2013 11:03, Karl Taylor a écrit : > Hi all, > > I would like to second Steve's suggestion calling for "some compelling > use cases that will help us to understand the costs and benefits". > > He is also right that although for CMIP5, we recommended a certain > directory structure (which I guess implies some hierarchy), that > structure is largely arbitrary and not particularly well-suited for many > applications (as already pointed out by Jonathan G.). > > I am completely ignorant concerning NASA's use of hierarchy, which is > why it would be helpful to me to see a concrete example of how formally > defining hierarchies in CF will help end users (e.g., research scientists). > > best regards, > Karl -- Charlie Zender, Earth System Sci. & Computer Sci.
