Slightly better, avoiding multiple negatives:

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 *whose 
interpretation would require external resources*, and the meaning of terms is 
generally indicated by keyword rather than depending on order.
