Catalog Changes - DRAFT
last update: 29 July 2008
Changes for version 1.0.2
- The version attribute is "1.0.2" .
- The 1.0.2 schema can be found here.
[However, you should tell your parser to resolve to a local copy of it,
both for performance and to decouple from Unidata's web server.]
Changes to enumerated types:
- "serviceType" enumerations: deprecated "NetcdfServer"; added "NetcdfSubset".
- "dataFormatTypes" enumerations: added "McIDAS-AREA" and "text/html".
- "variableNameVocabulary" enumerations: deprecated "GRIB"; added "GRIB-1" and "GRIB-2"
Changes to elements and attributes:
- "catalog" element: deprecated the "base" attribute (not working in code, should follow XLink spec).
- "variable" element: added the "vocabulary_id" attribute.
- "property" element: require both "name" and "value" attributes.
Changes to server-side catalog
- Add "datasetFmrc" element for defining a Forecast Model Run Collection (FMRC).
- Modify "datasetScan/addProxies" and "datasetScan/addLatest" elements so
that "simpleLatest" and "latestComplete" children both have an
"isResolver" attribute.
- Deprecate "service/datasetRoot", add "catalog/datasetRoot".
- Change "dataset@resourceControl" to "dataset@restrictedAccess".
Other requests
- Allow a variable element to map to more than one vocabulary (Luca)
- Add last update time of the catalog, for caching. Could use HTTP headers. (Benno, LEAD).
- Extended inheritance across catalog references (Michael Burek)
