Greetings,
I have a question about validating the semantics of a THREDDS catalog.
The attached catalog contains a number of thredds:catalogRef elements.
The urlPath attribute for these should be able to be used to resolve
the individual catalogs. Is there a validation for that similar to
using the built in Catalog Validation service that come rolled in the
TDS?
I tested the attached catalog against the service at
motherload.ucar.edu:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/catalogServices?cmd=validate&catalog=http://ndp.opendap.org:8080/opendap/data/catalog.xml
And it passed, but I don't imagine it attempted to check down the
catalog hierarchy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nathan
