CSDMS Standard Names
- Information on the CSDMS Standard Names has been organized into the following sections that each have their own page.
- While it is always a good idea to use existing standards whenever possible, CSDMS discovered that other naming conventions, such as the CF Convention Standard Names were not well-suited to the needs of component-based modeling. This section explains our motivation for developing a new standard.
- The CSDMS Standard Names follow an object + quantity pattern with an optional operation prefix. This section provides some background and basic information about the CSDMS Standard Names.
- This section provides a set of templates and rules for constructing the object part of a CSDMS Standard Name.
- This section provides a set of templates and rules for constructing the quantity part of a CSDMS Standard Name. Many quantity names include the name of a physical process and information about constructing process names along with numerous examples are given on the CSDMS Process Names page.
- This section provides a set of templates and rules for constructing the optional operation prefix of a CSDMS Standard Name.
- This section provides information on CSDMS Model Metadata Files (MMF) and provides standardized model/variable metadata names for units, ellipsoids, datums, projections, "how modeled" and assumptions. It links to an extensive set of CSDMS Assumption Names and includes An Example Model Metadata File (coming soon).
