Dear All,
We need unique identifiers so we can better describe the information
we are sending in XML files. This is to support Feature catalogues,
ISO -19115, SensorML etc.
Is there an official namespace for CF standard names ?
If not then we could we create a namespace like the following:
urn:edu:ucar:cf:standard_name:entry
urn:edu:ucar:cf:standard_name:canonical_units
and then for a particular entry we can uniquely identify it by saying:
- urn:edu:ucar:cf:standard_name:entry#air_density
- urn:edu:ucar:cf:standard_name:entry#kg_m-3 (needs a little bit of
massage)
At MMI we are using a temporal namespace (
http://marinemetadata.org/
2005/02/cf), but we are looking forward to have a synchronize
ontology with your publish XML file, so we can have real time
mappings with other standard dictionaries.
Cheers,
Luis
