Hi John,
I'd be very concerned if the Standard Names versioning weren't decoupled from the versioning of the Conventions as the publication frequency requirements differ somewhat.
If people are being blocked by the current web site transition issues then the latest version of Standard Names are also available in RDF at
http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P07/current/ and in searchable human readable form at
http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_bodc_vocab_v2/search.asp?lib=P07
Cheers, Roy.

Good question Reyna! To my knowledge there is no defined relationship between the CF Standard Name table versions, and the CF Convention versions.
You could derive the time relationships by determining the publication dates of each. There would be likely to be some imprecision in that determination. But no one says that a CF file following a particular convention has to use the current standard names table, as opposed to an old one, or one from the future.

We are just working on an approach to map our sensors to CF standard variables. How do we know which CF version an XML version associates with. Eg.., is xml v27 for CF1.6? Or is it CF1.1 based on the reference to cf-standard-name-table-1.1.xsd
<standard_name_table xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="cf-standard-name-table-1.1.xsd">

John,
Thanks! I hadn't checked that link.
Actually, you can only get the v27 file, and only as XML (no xsd file?). The other links are all broken. The one XML file is better than nothing at all though.

It's evidence of work in progress, I'm pretty sure. Standard names can be found meanwhile at the documents page,
http://cfconventions.org/documents.
If you have a specific need (e.g., software interface) for the names to show up at a particular page in a particular form, might mention that to the list. Just in case it's a use case that hasn't been considered.

Yes, we're also urgently trying to access this page. We'll it be back up soon?

Hi.
I just noticed that the page
http://cfconventions.org/standard-names.html
has no contents. Is this evidence of a work in progress, or is this a glitch?
Grace and peace,
Jim
