NetCDF Mappings

Where does NcSOS get its Metadata?

definition terms for each of the attributes of a station/sensor. example from NOAA
<sml:identifier name="Short Name">
  <sml:Term definition="urn:ogc:def:identifier:OGC:shortName">
    <sml:value>adcp0</sml:value>
  </sml:Term>
</sml:identifier>
URN (procedure) for Grid data. Right now it reads: 'urn:tds:station.sos:SST_Global_2x2deg_20120626_0000'. Where that last bit is the file name of the netcdf dataset.
Vector definitions for station location example from NOAA
<swe:Position>
  <swe:location>
    <swe:Vector gml:id="STATION_LOCATION" definition="urn:ogc:def:property:OGC:location">
    </swe:Vector>
  </swe:location>
</swe:Position>
Definitions for Time and Quantity fields (used in trajectories) example from NOAA
<swe:field name="time">
  <swe:Time definition="urn:ogc:def:phenomenon:OGC:time">
    <swe:uom xlink:href="urn:ogc:def:unit:OGC:ISO8601:date"/>
  </swe:Time>
</swe:field>
<swe:field name="lat">
  <swe:Quantity definition="urn:ogc:def:phenomenon:OGC:latitude:wgs84">
