OGC Approves CF Extension to NetCDF Core Data Model Standard
14 February 2013
The Open Geospatial Consortium membership has adopted the Climate and Forecast (CF) extension to the existing OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) Core Encoding Standard version 1.0. All of the OGC's netCDF standards documents are available for free download from the OGC network Common Data Forum (netCDF) standards suite page.

13 December 2012
Scientific data formats such as NetCDF have made great strides in areas like interoperability, scalability, and data compression. By comparison, methods for representing the uncertainty inherent in the values stored in scientific data sets are less robust. A group organized by researchers from the National Research Council of Italy's Institute for Atmospheric Pollution Research is trying to address this issue by creating a set of conventions for the representation of uncertainty values associated with data stored in NetCDF files.
A discussion paper describing ideas for storing uncertainty values is available, and an electronic mail list has been created to allow broad community discussion of the proposal.

25 September 2012
The Open Geospatial Consortium membership has approved the Enhanced Data Model Extension to the OGC Network Common Data Form (netCDF) Core Encoding Standard. The OGC has previously approved the netCDF Core Encoding Standard, the netCDF Binary Encoding Extension Standard-netCDF Classic, and the 64-bit Offset Format. All of the OGC's netCDF standards documents are available for free download from the OGC network Common Data Forum (netCDF) standards suite page.
