I disagree that not describing the aggregate components through the Standard Name makes it useless. I can think of use cases where such minimal semantics are all that is needed (e.g. somebody who just wants to know which of a raft of flags to use to filter out problem data).
There are of course other use cases where the user wants to know how the aggregate was derived but in these cases I feel the user wants to know the whole story. As this issue has developed the complexity of the story has increased to the extent where I believe it has exceeded the limited semantic capabilities of CF. Consequently, I believe this story belongs in the data documentation as Jessica has suggested a couple of times. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
