| * Maps ISO metadata elements from/to the <a href="http://www.cfconventions.org">Climate and Forecast (CF)</a> |
| * attributes in a netCDF file. The mapping is defined in the following web pages: |
| * |
| * <ul> |
| * <li><a href="http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Category:Attribute_Conventions_Dataset_Discovery">NetCDF |
| * Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery</a> version 1.0.</li> |
| * <li><a href="https://github.com/Unidata/threddsIso/blob/master/src/main/resources/xsl/nciso/UnidataDD2MI.xsl">UnidataDD2MI.xsl</a> file.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * The netCDF attributes recognized by this package are listed in the |
| * {@link org.apache.sis.storage.netcdf.AttributeNames} class. |
| * |
| * <div class="section">Note on the definition of terms</div> |
| * The UCAR library sometime uses the same words than the ISO/OGC standards for different things. |
| * In particular the words <cite>"domain"</cite> and <cite>"range"</cite> can be applied to arbitrary functions, |
| * and the UCAR library chooses to apply it to the function that converts grid indices to geodetic coordinates. |
| * The ISO 19123 standard on the other hand considers coverage as a function, and applies those <cite>domain</cite> |
| * and <cite>range</cite> words to that function. More specifically: |
| * |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>UCAR <cite>"coordinate system"</cite> is actually a mix of <cite>coordinate system</cite>, |
| * <cite>coordinate reference system</cite> and <cite>grid geometry</cite> in OGC sense.</li> |
| * <li>UCAR coordinate system <cite>"domain"</cite> is not equivalent to ISO 19123 coverage domain, |
| * but is rather related to <cite>grid envelope</cite>.</li> |
| * <li>ISO 19123 coverage <cite>domain</cite> is related to UCAR coordinate system <cite>"range"</cite>.</li> |
| * <li>ISO 19123 coverage <cite>range</cite> is not equivalent to UCAR <cite>"range"</cite>, |
| * but is rather related to the netCDF variable's minimum and maximum values.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * Care must be taken for avoiding confusion when using SIS and UCAR libraries together. |
