[CF-metadata] standard way to store lookuptables

Hi all,
I have a real big doubt about how to store the following inside a
netcdf in a standard way.

Let's assume I have a raster map of soiltypes, which is a grid in lat, long.
I then have several parameters, that depend on the soiltype, so that
they are spatially distributed along the lines of the soiltype map.

I could create a raster map for every of these depending parameters,
but I really would not like to, because of different reason, one of
which might be space.

Instead I would highly prefer to keep a kind of lookuptable that
bounds me the value of any depending variable to the soiltype
category.

I have no idea how that would be stored in a proper way into the
netcdf-cf structure.

Has anyone faced this before and has some documentation to point me to?

Thanks,
Andrea
