Revision as of 17:15, November 20, 2014
The netCDF Group at Unidata recommended a set of netCDF attributes (the NetCDF Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery) to enable data discovery nearly a decade ago. This convention was designed to augment the Climate-Forecast conventions that were already being used to ease access to data in netCDF by tools. The ACDD was adopted as the basis for the ncISO tool developed at NGDC and incorporated into THREDDS with the goal of providing ISO 19115-compliant discovery metadata for datasets in THREDDS that supported the ACDD. The governance of these conventions has since been taken over by the ESIP Documentation Cluster.
This page includes ACDD recommendations at three levels: highly recommended, recommended, and suggested.
