Webinar: Human Readable, “Self-Describing” Marine Data Files

“Self-describing” data files must contain sufficient metadata to create a dataset on the ERDDAP server without manual intervention. NetCDF is the standard "self-describing" format for ocean data files, but our stakeholders also need support for a “text-based” format that can be edited using a text editor or spreadsheet.

In this webinar David Rayner will introduce the file format NCCSV - "NetCDF-Compatible ASCII CSV" - which we are proposing to recommend for sharing text-based marine data files.

• When: 22 September 12.00-13.00
• Where: Zoom
• The webinar will be held in English.
