It's irrelevant. How can it matter? The key is in the word "encoded", the data model should be independent of the encoding. Hello Brian point taken, my language was not clear. I'll rephrase my question: Does the semantics of an attribute include it's typing, variable or global? i.e: Is a global attribute of 'institute' able to be differentiated from a data variable attribute of 'institute' within the scope of a Field in the data model? mark -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/95#comment:63> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
