- 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 a basic 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.
