 > The text on [https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/DataModel1.5Draft
 Mark's wiki page] isn't exactly the same as the text we have discussed in
 the ticket.

 Thank you for the further text Jonathan.

 In an attempt to keep discussions structured and posts to a manageable
 size, I have put the text you posted into the [https://cf-
 pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/DataModel1.5Draft wiki page].  I hope this better
 represents the status of the discussions than my previous attempt.

 I have also defined in the wiki a markup approach to facilitate multiple
 editors.  I would like to try this approach to enable comments and
 thoughts to be captured, then discussed in turn.

 I have also added a little formatting to aid readability, but hopefully
 the text is faithful to your post, aside from the ''italic'' markup which
 is the record of my suggested additions.

 I would like to try and handle issues in constrained posts, so I will
 start with a single theme from me:

 I think it is helpful if the Field names the containers which it uses to
 reference the types it contains, for example:

 Each Field Construct may optionally contain:

  * ''dimension_coords'': A collection of dimension coordinate constructs.

 I think this approach will aid communication.  It allows us to talk in
 (hopefully) intuative language, such as ''The Field's
 dimension_coordinates''.

 This label does not have to be used in an implentation, rather an
 implementation should define how this label has been interpreted.  So, CF-
 NetCDF would define that this label is implemented using NetCDF's
 Coordinate Variable identification mechanism.

 Do contributors also think this is helpful?
