Hello, The first link from opengeospatial.org is not referring to the netCDF software itself, but rather the CF metadata conventions which use netCDF as an underlying data mode/storage format. So to ask if netCDF, in and of itself, is OGC compliant is a little misleading. NetCDF data files which adhere to the CF-netCDF metadata convention appear to be OGC compliant. There is nothing about a netCDF file, however, which enforces OGC compliance. It depends on the provenance of the file. The current draft of the CF conventions refer specifically to netCDF3, I believe; perhaps the netCDF4 files being referenced adhere to the metadata conventions, but use the netCDF4 storage format? I can't say for certain, unfortunately. I hope this helps, -Ward > Greetings, > > Iâve been searching high and low in an attempt to find some consistency in > terms of NetCDFâs compliance with OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).
