Re: [CF-metadata] JSON representation based on CF

My bad: "As of version 4.6.3, NCO defaults to demarcate inner dimensions of variable data with (nested) square brackets rather than printing data as an unrolled single dimensional array." So we will seriously consider the change of data location, "dimensions" to "shape", and then CF-JSON=NCO

Hi All, The CF-JSON structure was generally based on CDL (as produced by ncdump) which stores the data in a separate section. The key requirement is the same as for CDL. But I do see the logic of just including it in the variable section itself. I haven't had a chance to properly review NCO

Just looked a tiny bit more at CF_JSON, and see an issue right away: "The data object contains the actual data for each variable as its key:value members. Each data key MUST be the same as it variable ID key." { ... "variables": { "tmp2m": { "dimensions":

At a really quick glance, it looks like CovJSON has a different mission that "CF-json" or "netcdf-json". But they do sure overlap, so I hope we can not have TOO many overlapping yet different JSON specs out there. None of these are very mature or widely adopted -- so now it a good time (indeed

Hi all, As many of you know, we are holding an "Advancing netCDF-CF" workshop [1] on 6-8 September 2017 at UCAR in Boulder, CO USA. This workshop will focus on efforts to advance the Climate and Forecast (CF) metadata conventions for netCDF (netCDF-CF). The meeting is being hosted by the

Hi all,   Just to introduce myself – I managed the project [1] that yielded CovJSON [2]. It was developed mostly by my colleague Maik Riechert, with occasional input from me. We managed to get it to a reasonable state of maturity, but it would be great to see wider uptake – I’m very

Hi Folks, My colleague recently brought this list to my attention and I was very happy to see mention of CovJSON ☺ At NASA JPL’s PO.DAAC I have also been working with CovJSON manifestations of our data offerings. Specifically, I’ve been working with a bunch of others on the pycovjson [0]
