Hi Karl,
Please see new thread
Are ensembles a compelling use case for "group-aware" metadata?
It is a thinly veiled reference to CMIP5, which I don't mention
by name so as not to associate it/you with our proposal.
Nevertheless, many on the list know what CMIP5 is and it has helped
climate models become a useful demonstration of
data processing paradigms, so I hope you don't mind the close
parallels between my example and CMIP5.
Corey chimed-in on how he uses groups with NASA data.
Maybe others will too?
