All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Enclosing class:

Attribute­Names

public static class AttributeNames.Term
extends Object
implements Serializable

Holds the attribute names describing a term together with a vocabulary (or naming authority). A term is a word or expression having a precise meaning in a domain identified by the vocabulary. In the following table, the header lists the constants defined in the Attribute­Names class and the other cells give the values assigned in this class fields for those constants.

Names of netCDF attributes describing a keyword

AttributeNames	TEXT	VOCABULARY
IDENTIFIER	"id"	"naming_authority"
STANDARD_NAME	"standard_name"	"standard_name_vocabulary"
KEYWORDS	"keywords"	"keywords_vocabulary"
PROGRAM	"program"
PLATFORM	"platform"	"platform_vocabulary"
INSTRUMENT	"instrument"	"instrument_vocabulary"

Departure from conventions

The member names in this class are upper-cases because they should be considered as constants. For example, Attribute­Names.KEYWORD.TEXT maps exactly to the "keywords" string and nothing else. A lower-case text member name could be misleading since it would suggest that the field contains the actual text value rather than the key by which the value is identified in a netCDF file.
