[CF-metadata] cf4j - Java library for CF standard names

Hi Shane,

There are parallel servings of the Standard Names - the HTML from the CF metadata site, plus a SKOS service through the NERC Vocabulary Server. Have a look at:

http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/accepted<https://webmail.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/,DanaInfo=vocab.nerc.ac.uk+accepted> (all non-deprecated Standard Names in the current version)
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/deprecated<https://webmail.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/,DanaInfo=vocab.nerc.ac.uk+deprecated> (all deprecated Standard Names in the current version)
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/all<https://webmail.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/,DanaInfo=vocab.nerc.ac.uk+all>(all deprecated+non-deprecated Standard Names in the current version)
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/12/accepted<https://webmail.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/12/,DanaInfo=vocab.nerc.ac.uk+accepted> (all non-deprecated Standard Names in the version 12 of the list)

Subject: [CF-metadata] cf4j - Java library for CF standard names

Hi all,

Just wanted to share a new Java library available on Maven Central. cf4j (CF for Java) is a simple library that provides constants for all CF standard names and feature types. The standard names are generated via XSLT from the xml representation of the standard names[1] provided on the CF Metadata site. The major version of cf4j corresponds to the revision number of the CF standard names it provides (currently 19).

The project is hosted on GitHub here:
https://github.com/axiomalaska/cf4j

Project documentation is available here:
http://axiomalaska.github.com/cf4j/

...and JavaDocs here:
http://axiomalaska.github.com/cf4j/apidocs/

The most useful class is CFStandardNames, which provides all of the standard name constants:
http://axiomalaska.github.com/cf4j/apidocs/com/axiomalaska/cf4j/CFStandardNames.html

The library will be updated as new versions of the CF names are produced. I needed the library while working on a Sensor Observation Service project and wasn't aware of any Java resources that provided versioned CF names. Hopefully it will be useful for someone.

Best,
Shane
