To address @davidhassell's concern, about "external resources", for the first point I now propose instead
In order to make CF-netCDF files self-describing, CF-netCDF metadata uses phrases from controlled vocabularies which are chosen as far as practically possible to be self-explanatory without reference to resources external to the netCDF file (although precise definitions and descriptions are also provided in CF documents). CF-netCDF metadata does not use opaque codes which could not be interpreted without external resources, and the meaning of terms is generally indicated by keyword rather than depending on order. That's longer than I'd like, but is that better? Jonathan -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
