| 8 | +# 2016 EarthCube netCDF-CF Workshop |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +**Advancing netCDF-CF for the Geosciences** |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +**24-26 May 2016, Boulder, Colorado** |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +***[Original website hosted at Unidata](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/events/2016CFWorkshop/ "Unidata's website")*** |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +This workshop will focus on discussing current and future efforts and directions for the Climate and Forecast (CF) |
| 17 | +metadata conventsions for netCDF (netCDF-CF). The meeting will be organized by the “Advancing netCDF-CF for Geoscience” |
| 18 | +project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation's EarthCube program. |
| 19 | +The project goals include several specific CF development efforts, including standards development and software prototyping. |
| 20 | +(The project team is just starting to spin-up community conversations around these specific goals for drafting CF extensions.) |
| 21 | +Another aspect of the funded project is fostering greater community engagement, including the existing CF community, |
| 22 | +geoscience domains that have not been very involved in CF, and other standards bodies (e.g. the Open Geospatial Consortium). |
| 23 | +These and other topics are on the current list of possible agenda items. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Planned discussion topics include: |
| 26 | +* Hierarchical structures for data and metadata |
| 27 | +* CF and the netCDF Enhanced Data Model (e.g., CF 2.0) |
| 28 | +* CF Discrete Sampling Geometries (DSG) and the netCDF Enhanced Data Model |
| 29 | +* netCDF-CF and complex data value footprints (e.g., river segments/networks and drainage basins) |
| 30 | +* NetCDF-CF and satellite data |
| 31 | +* CFRadial: netCDF-CF and radar data |
| 32 | +* UGRID and related |
| 33 | +* Dataset Aggregation: various forms |
| 34 | +* Linked Data and semantic technologies |
| 35 | +* Coordination with OGC netCDF SWG |
| 36 | +* Harmonizing CF grid mapping with OGC CRS (coordinate reference systems) |
| 37 | +* Support for attribute namespaces and/or URI prefixes |
| 38 | +* CF Governance and process |
| 39 | +* Capturing information on uncertainty: netCDF-U (and UncertML?) |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The organizers are committed to ensuring that a wide range of community interests are represented. |
| 42 | +Although the initial deadline for participation in this workshop has passed, if you are interested in attending please contact. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +We are also investigating options for remote participation. If you would like to participate electronically, please contact us for information. |
