#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 davidhassell): Hello Mark, > > The domain axes don't need to be ordered, because they have identities other than their size (independently of any associtated coordinates). > > I thought this was explicitly not the case. I do not see anything in the discussions about the domain axis that provides an identity. Please may you describe further what this identity is? Domain axis identity was discussed a bit in ticket #68, but looking back at that, perhaps the type of domain axis identity I meant was not clear. I'll try to explain. A domain axis has an identity ''in the model'' by virtue of the fact that it is a construct independent of other similar constructs. It doesn't have an identity in the same way that a coordinate has a standard name. By way of simple analogy, in a computer program you might say something like: {{{ x=2 y=3 }}} Here, both variables x and y are integers, but they've got different ''names'' and you could use those variable names to declare an array, for example: {{{ a=Array_of_Floats(y, x) }}} I hope that makes sense, All the best, David -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:38> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
