Hello Ben
I have put an example section at the bottom of the wiki page
https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/PotentialDataModelTypes#Example1
I think you are right that including examples helps to illustrate the conversation, I hope I have done so here.
In particular, I have noted:
Coordinate:
This type does not have an example, it can be thought of as an abstract type, which provides common functionality to it's tangible sub-types.
so my examples of Coordinates are all DimensionCoordinates and AuxiliaryCoordinates.
all the best
mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for making a great start. One addition I might suggest is to have
an example or two for each type. That would really help me. In the list
of types you start with, I think I understand most of them, but the
definition of "Coordinate" leaves me a bit unsure. That's a place where
an example of a coordinate (especially a coordinate that's not a
DimensionCoordinate) would help.
Thanks.
