Hi Rich,

Actually, our Thredds thredds.socib.es have the ncISO services enable.
So, I think the ncISO doesn't add  "Time coverage", "Geospatial coverage"
and "variables" metadata (link to the dataset example
http://thredds.socib.es/thredds/catalog/mooring/oceanographic_buoy/buoy_bahiadepalma-ime_buoy001/L1/catalog.html?dataset=mooring/oceanographic_buoy/buoy_bahiadepalma-ime_buoy001/L1/dep0003_buoy-bahiadepalma_ime-buoy001_L1_latest.nc

But, we have configured a Forecast Model Run (
http://thredds.socib.es/thredds/catalog/operational_models/oceanographical/hydrodynamics/model_run_aggregation/wmed/catalog.html?dataset=operational_models/oceanographical/hydrodynamics/model_run_aggregation/wmed/wmed_best.ncd)
Collection following the Feature Collection
Tutorial<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.2/tutorial/FeatureCollectionsTutorial.html>.
As you can see, the  "TimeCoverage", "GeospatialCoverage" and "Variables"
metadata is displayed.
