Hello CF
For your information, and with invitation to comment
The netCDF Standards Working Group within OGC have been working on an encoding standard for interpreting netCDF metadata as linked data graphs
this work has recently been pre-published, with an invitation for public comment:
https://www.ogc.org/pressroom/pressreleases/4704
https://www.ogc.org/standards/requests/248
This work is aimed at enhancing the use of content metadata within netCDF files across large collections of files
The authors have worked to ensure that this standard proposal is fully compatible with CF, indeed CF is a key recognised metadata standard by OGC.
Making better use of CF and further metadata standards is the key aim of this work
There are no changes to the CF conventions for netCDF files proposed nor required by this work, it is complementary to the CF conventions (we believe)
The CF community are invited to engage with this public comment phase directly via OGC, to engage with the editorial team via github https://github.com/opengeospatial/netcdf-ld and to explore free form chatter in the response thread to this issue
we would really welcome CF community member perspectives on this work, particularly prior to publishing
There is open source software implementing this standard, available for use, including
https://github.com/binary-array-ld/net.binary_array_ld.bald
many thanks
