Decoding CF Standard_Names: Unraveling the Distinction between ‘platform_id’ and ‘platform_name’ in Earth Science
Cf MetadataGetting Started In the geosciences, the CF metadata conventions provide a standardized approach for describing and sharing data. These conventions define a set of standard names that allow consistent and unambiguous identification of variables and their attributes. Two commonly used CF standard names in the context of platform information are platform_id and platform_name. While both

Classifying Variables in Earth Science: Exploring the Need for a Standardized Metadata Attribute for Classification Systems
Cf MetadataThe Importance of Metadata in Earth Science Metadata are essential to geoscience research because they provide information about the data, including how it was collected, processed, and analyzed. Metadata allows researchers to evaluate and understand the quality of the data, assess its suitability for their research, and ensure that the data are used appropriately. In
