Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hello, My apologies if there is a better place to post questions about NCML...I've been working on the automatic generations of aggregations using NCML. That is, using software to crawl servers and build/write NCML files that form aggregations of files on the crawled servers.
Question: Is there consensus on the best way to represent time (assuming it is the new dimension) in a JoinNew aggregation?
Background: I have the code working and it's currently using ISO 8601 to represent time, although I can easily change that. This is work that comes from crawling to build metadata records for dataset catalogs - aggregations fit into this because they are an effective way to mitigate some problems with very large metadata records choking catalog software (and some other semantic issues regarding 'inventories').
