I've spent a fair bit of time this week reading various metadata conventions. My opinion is that we should add the following as global attributes to every file we create:
title: something like BOUT++ grid file
software_name: zoidberg
software_version: full version
date_created: ISO 8601 timestamp of this run
id: a UUID for this run
And possibly the following:
netcdf_version: This is nc_inq_libvers() or netCDF4.getlibversion()
Conventions: URL of units/normalisations documentation (not sure this actually exists, but it should!)
references: DOI of zoidberg/BOUT++
comment: human-friendly description of this run, e.g. W7-X shot #1234
All variables in the file may have the following attributes:
units: SI units
long_name: human-friendly description
I've based this mostly on the netCDF and CF metadata conventions.
Should we include the version of zoidberg in the grid files?
