Hi Martin -
Unless UGRID and CMIP6 are 'additional conventions for a specific subset
of [CF} data' I think these terms should be separated by spaces, not
slashes.
We took that approach in OceanSITES and in ACDD; although these other
conventions use CF, they're 'stand-alone' in some ways.
I'm glad you mentioned this page, I'll see if I can add OceanSITES there
too.
Cheers - Nan

Hello All,
I'd like to pick up this thread again. The min motivation of raising it was to get a
change to the following line in the draft 1.7 conformance document (in section 2.6.1)
'Files that conform to the CF version 1.5 conventions must indicate this by setting the
global Conventions attribute to the string value "CF-1.5"'.
As Nan has pointed out, the UNIDATA FTP page
(ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/Conventions/) is no longer the
authoritative location for NetCDF conventions, having been superseded by
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/conventions.html : so it would make
sense to update the reference to the FTP page in the CF Conventions document.
It looks to me as though that page has a clear and well thought out definition of the use of the
Conventions attribute, and it would make sense to adopt it. For the specific cases of UGRID and
CMIP it looks as though "CF-1.7/CMIP6" or "CF-1.7/UGRID/CMIP6" would be
appropriate.
For UGRID, this approach would be cleaner if the UGRID convention was actually
registered and referenced on
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/conventions.html -- I'll look into
that, and the same applies to CMIP conventions.
regards,
Martin
