Hi James,
I just saw Calloway’s comment re the addition of an extra .nc on the file request. I have found this a bit odd as well but I also understand your argument. Why not change the first ‘.’ to an underscore ‘_’:
filename.nc ==> filename_nc.nc or
filename.h4 ==> filename_h4.nc
That would satisfy both your argument and I think that it would satisfy Calloway’s concern although it is not clear filename.nc.nc breaks their system. He doesn’t have to have a filename that is exactly the same does he?

This seems like one approach that would keep some notion of lineage in the name.

Another way to handle the provenance without adding another .nc would be to add a global attribute to the file giving the story. In fact, a global variable showing the OPeNDAP request that generated the netCDF fileout would be VERY useful. That way, you could make it so that the filename corresponds to the THREDDS filename while still providing the information and the OPeNDAP request would contain a lot more information than the additional .nc. I would prefer this to the way that it is done now and to not having any information about the request.

Oh, I see that you did post it to the site.Yes - I should have asked first, but it seemed to be a very apropos comment.
BTW, Dan is now leaning toward a meeting with the Rutgers OOI folks, but I need to look into the details. Travel during the rest of March will be problem for me, given that I’ve been in OGC-land for since the first of the month… That said, I’ll sort something out.
