Hi Ros and Alison,

The standardised region names are held in the NERC Vocabulary server. An 
RDF-XML version may be obtained using:

http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P30/current/accepted

You can also use this to check the validity of a particular area name, For 
example to verify 'antarctica' simply enter the URL:

http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P30/current/antarctica/

If the term in the last field is invalid then you will get an HTTP 400 error.

If this serves your purposes then you can save yourself a job.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Alison,

Thank you.  I will put one together and get it added to the website. Thank you 
also for volunteering to maintain it.

Best Regards,
Ros.

Hi Ros,

No, there isn't currently an XML version of the region names (I don't think one 
has ever existed). If you do create a version and add it to the CF website I'd 
be happy to maintain it along with the XML and HTML versions of the 
standard_name and area_types tables.

Best wishes,
Alison

Subject: [CF-metadata] Standardized Region Names

Hi,

Is there a version of the standardized region names list
(http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/docs/standardized-region-names.html)
 in xml anywhere?

I'm in the process of getting the CF Checker to validate against the list of 
region names and it would be
easiest if it's in xml format like the area_types and standard_name tables.  Am 
happy to create one if
one doesn't exist.

Regards,
Ros.
