As of December 17, the CF-netCDF Data Model Extension Standard
[11-165r1] was approved a new OGC standard. Congratulations to the
CF-NetCDF SWG! The vote results are:

Yes: 40
Abstain: 1


The OGC netCDF encoding supports electronic encoding of geospatial data,
that is, digital geospatial information representing space and
time-varying phenomena.

This standard specifies the CF-netCDF data model extension that
specifies the CF-netCDF data model mapping onto the ISO 19123 coverage
schema.

This standard deals with multi-dimensional gridded data and
multi-dimensional multi-point data.

In particular, this extension standard encoding profile is limited to
multi-point, and regular and warped grids; however, irregular grids are
important in the CF-netCDF community and work is underway to expand the
CF-netCDF to encompass other coverages types, including irregular
gridded datasets.

After final edits, the document should be published as an official OGC
standard in the next few days.
