#95: Development of CF 1.5 Data Model -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: markh | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by mgschultz): Dear Jonathan, actually I was trying to argue against the use of "cell". A dictionary definition gives you: 1. a small room, as in a convent or prison. 2. any of various small compartments or bounded areas forming part of a whole. Thus, a "cell" would refer only to a bounded entity and disregard the case where you only care about the location itself. Using Heisenberg's principle ;-) one could rather argue that "location" is a term that is imprecise enough to allow for both interpretations. On the other hand, I like the clarification you provide in "the bounds are optional, but sometimes the bounds are the important information and the gridpoints are notional (for extensive quantities)." - If we can insert this bit into the definition, the meaning should become pretty clear.
