Greetings, The "CF2" people will meet again in Boulder this summer to consider and refine draft proposals intended offer CF-like conventions that can incorporate extended (non-classic) netCDF features, as well as some innovative extensions that could be purely CF-1.x compatible. This message announces the availability for comment of the first draft of such an extension, currently known as "CF2-Group", that defines best practices for incorporating hierarchical group structures in datasets. Please browse through the CF2-Group draft:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KK6IZ2ZmpaUTVgrw-GlFd6almppjvGz6D7nxVTO3BtI/edit There is a possibly controversial proposed extension to CF1 Feature types/DSGs discussed in use case #3. Comments are welcome as both "google doc comments", and also as direct edits to the document (please use courtesy and highlight your proposed changes in one color and the original text in another). I think it would be most productive if comments were placed on the document where we can attempt to address them. Please do not comment on the CF2-Group extension on this list. We'll see how it goes... Charlie -- Charlie Zender, Earth System Sci. & Computer Sci.
