Hi Martin, Christiane,
I remember looking at Christiane's pages back when those names were being
proposed. It seemed to be a very sensible approach to creating standard
names. However, I recall that in the ensuing discussions on the CF
mailing list there were many changes to the details, so that even though I
liked the concept I thought that the webpages had become out of date.
I just tracked down Christiane's recent email where she mentioned her wiki
(dated 3 Nov 2008), and I see it has been updated.
The link was
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/CF_Standard_Names_-_Construction_of_Atmospheric_Chemistry_and_Aerosol_Terms
It seems to combine proposals for the way to handle chemistry standard
names (many of which I like), along with descriptions of how the current
chemistry standard names are generated.
I also see that you list four alternative administrative procedures
for the approval of standard_names in the future, which include many of
the recent proposals on this email list.
Could you clarify the purpose of the wiki?
Are you intending that this be a basis for future discussions of these
issues?
Best wishes,
Philip
