CSDMS Standard Names

Motivation

Overview

Basic Pattern

CSDMS Standard Names conform to the following basic pattern:

[ operation_name ] + object_name + quantity_name

where the object_name has the form:

object_name = [ one or more modifiers ] + base_object_name

and the quantity_name has the form:

quantity_name = [ one or more modifiers ] + base_quantity_name + [ quantity_suffix ]

Modifiers are separated by underscores.
