2010 Unidata NetCDF Workshop > Best Practices
7.0 Overview
A body of best practices (or at least "not bad practices") has matured
for netCDF classic.
The best sources for best practices are practitioners, not
developers. Nevertheless, we will look at some of the evolving community
wisdom concerning
- Conventions
- Coordinate systems
- Appropriate use of variables
- Use of attributes versus variables
- Strings
- Dates and time
- Packed data
- Missing data and fill values
- Conventions development
