NetCDF Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery Report

The Unidata Attribute Convention for Data Discovery provides recommendations for netCDF attributes that can be added to netCDF files to facilitate discovery of those files using standard metadata searches. This tool tests conformance with those recommendations using this stylesheet. More Information on Convention and Tool.

Identification / Metadata Reference Score: 3/4

As metadata are shared between National and International repositories it is becoming increasing important to be able to unambiguously identify and refer to specific records. This is facilitated by including an identifier in the metadata. Some mechanism must exist for ensuring that these identifiers are unique. This is accomplished by specifying the naming authority or namespace for the identifier. It is the responsibility of the manager of the namespace to ensure that the identifiers in that namespace are unique. Identifying the Metadata Convention being used in the file and providing a link to more complete metadata, possibly using a different convention, are also important.

0 Metadata_Link or metadata_link This attribute provides a link to a complete metadata record for this dataset or the collection that contains this dataset. This attribute is not included in Version 1 of the Unidata Attribute Convention for Data Discovery. It is recommended here because a complete metadata collection for a dataset will likely contain more information than can be included in granule formats. This attribute contains a link to that information.
0 Metadata_Conventions This attribute is depreicated in favor of the "Conventions" attribute. The absence of Metadata_Conventions does count against your score.

This basic extent information supports spatial/temporal searches that are increasingly important as the number of map based search interfaces increases. Many of the attributes included in this spiral can be calculated from the data if the file is compliant with the NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention.

0 geospatial_bounds The north, south, east, west bouding box. There is no direct THREDDS metadata attribute, but the bounding box can be dervied the the THREDDS metadata listed above. /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/gmd:EX_Extent/gmd:geographicElement/gmd:EX_GeographicBoundingBox/gmd:eastBoundLongitude/gco:Decimal
0 geospatial_bounds_crs The coordinate reference system (CRS) of the point coordinates in the geospatial_bounds attribute. This CRS may be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional, but together with geospatial_bounds_vertical_crs, if that attribute is supplied, must match the dimensionality, order, and meaning of point coordinate values in the geospatial_bounds attribute. If geospatial_bounds_vertical_crs is also present then this attribute must only specify a 2D CRS. EPSG CRSs are strongly recommended. If this attribute is not specified, the CRS is assumed to be EPSG:4326. Examples: 'EPSG:4979' (the 3D WGS84 CRS), 'EPSG:4047'. There is no THREDDS metadata attribute for the CRS. The MD_CRS from ISO 19111 is not included in ISO 19115
0 geospatial_bounds_vertical_crs The vertical coordinate reference system (CRS) for the Z axis of the point coordinates in the geospatial_bounds attribute. This attribute cannot be used if the CRS in geospatial_bounds_crs is 3-dimensional; to use this attribute, geospatial_bounds_crs must exist and specify a 2D CRS. EPSG CRSs are strongly recommended. There is no default for this attribute when not specified. Examples: 'EPSG:5829' (instantaneous height above sea level), "EPSG:5831" (instantaneous depth below sea level), or 'EPSG:5703' (NAVD88 height). There is no THREDDS metadata attribute for the vercial CRS. /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/gmd:EX_Extent/gmd:verticalElement/gmd:EX_VerticalExtent/gmd:verticalCRS
1 time_coverage_duration Describes the duration of the data set.

This standard supports descriptions of durations.
1 time_coverage_resolution Describes the targeted time period between each value in the data set. Use ISO 8601:2004 duration format. N.B. the ISO value is an interger with units, so a conversion must be done. metadata/timeCoverage/resolution "/gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/gmd:EX_Extent/gmd:temporalElement/gmd:EX_TemporalExtent/gmd:extent/gml:TimePeriod/gml:timeInterval WHERE: /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/gmd:EX_Extent/gmd:temporalElement/gmd:EX_TemporalExtent/gmd:extent/gml:TimePeriod/gml:timeInterval[@unit=""units""]"
1 geospatial_lon_units

1 geospatial_vertical_units
Units for the vertical axis described in "geospatial_vertical_min" and "geospatial_vertical_max" attributes. The default is EPSG:4979 (height above the ellipsoid, in meters); other vertical coordinate reference systems may be specified. Note that the common oceanographic practice of using pressure for a vertical coordinate, while not strictly a depth, can be specified using the unit bar. Examples: 'EPSG:5829' (instantaneous height above sea level), 'EPSG:5831' (instantaneous depth below sea level). metadata/geospatialCoverage/updown/units /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/gmd:EX_Extent/gmd:verticalElement/gmd:EX_VerticalExtent/gmd:verticalCRS
1 geospatial_vertical_resolution
Information about the targeted vertical spacing of points. Example: '25 meters' metadata/geospatialCoverage/updown/resolution
1 geospatial_vertical_positive
One of 'up' or 'down'. If up, vertical values are interpreted as 'altitude', with negative values corresponding to below the reference datum (e.g., under water). If down, vertical values are interpreted as 'depth', positive values correspond to below the reference datum. Note that if geospatial_vertical_positive is down ('depth' orientation), the geospatial_vertical_min attribute specifies the data's vertical location furthest from the earth's center, and the geospatial_vertical_max attribute specifies the location closest to the earth's center. metadata/geospatialCoverage@zpositive
