#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 markh): Replying to [comment:40 jonathan]: > You made another point earlier, that "the Field is too much of an unaware container of clever constructs; I think this perspective should be reversed, with the Field being a smart container of simple constructs." That was nicely put! I don't feel strongly about this, myself. I think you have to read the whole document (both the field and its components) to comprehend the data model, so in a sense it doesn't make any difference where the logical function of each component is stated. The formal description is unaffected by this. However it might be more intelligible to describe the logical functions where the components are first introduced i.e. in the field description, as you say. I think this will be a helpful approach. It makes it clear that a Field defines the role of it's coordinate instances. I have updated [wiki:DataModel1.5Draft the draft] to try and reflect the comments and text to date, while maintianing cosistency. I have put in italics all known (to me) areas of uncertainty. I hope this reflects the views and textual suggestions to date.
