Hello all, There was some recent discussion about challenges related to adding ISO metadata to netCDF files. Rich Signell mentioned some work my group has been doing recently and John Graybeal pointed out that initially that work has focused on the NcML > ISO side of the equation. We have also

I'm glad this discussion is open again - it's an important area for CF to be involved in. The geo-ide wiki is a useful reference, but there's not a lot of discussion there, and no clear opportunity to participate. Some of the mapping seems a little loose (e.g. NACDD summary is mapped to ISO abst

So I may be missing the mark, but I see Martin's request as being about encoding ISO-compatible data into NetCDF files, whereas at first glance the NOAA/Unidata work appears to be about transforming pure NetCDF data/metadata into ISO format. It seems to me a fundamental question is whether you

[CF-metadata] CF and ISO19115

2011-02-21 Thread Schultz, Martin
Dear all, after searching the mailing list archive without success, I would like to bring up the topic of the ISO19115 metadata standard for geographical information and how to best map this into CF. Obviously, the ISO standard builds on XML and its hierarchical structures, while (global) a
