Hi Ken, I'm sorry that this has stalled, but I don't have as much time as I would like to devote to as many lengthy and involved proposals as I might like. Perhaps when some other CF issues I've been involved with for some time have concluded I will have more time here.
There are still many outstanding questions for me on a few areas, such as: the use of standard names, role identification, interpretation of cell methods on ancillary variables, ancillary variables referencing other ancillary variables[*]. These will need careful thought, especially the last two which, as proposed, break the CF data model. [*] in [my original post](https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/320*issuecomment-843029547__;Iw!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!mk1ikZpwQHD0-cVa8hT0f3T03Bnt5wKxR6A_t0iPGuRHTFg3qg2aBgiJSXn7ANws7yEDfnnUasM$ ) I meant _Ancillary variables containing ancillary variables_ when I wrote ~Ancillary methods containing ancillary methods~. Sorry. I think the first points we need to resolve is the use of standard names and role_identification (I agree that re-using "cf_role" name is probably not the best choice, here, but another name could work). Do you have any more thoughts on that? All the best, David -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
