That's great, Mary Jo, thanks for finding that list. Much more readable than
the original, which is at
https://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/resources/Codelists/cat/codelists.xml
I'm glad NCEI/EDM/GEO-IDE has published this, and I want to mention that
ACDD doesn't, or shouldn't, provide definitions for code lists that are
developed
and maintained by other organizations. The more we leave documenting and
maintaining these lists to others, the better, at least IMHO.
If we were creating our own attribute, not adopting something from ISO
19115-1,
we'd (hopefully) have used a term that was a little more meaningful than
'coverage_
content_type' and maybe even have definitions that were a little more
clear than e.g.
'thematicClassification: code value with no quantitative meaning, used
to represent a
physical quantity' which, to me, is pure Latin.
Cheers - Nan
