Re: [galeon] WCS CF-netCDF profile document

Hi All:
I think Jon Blower may have mentioned this earlier, but there needs to be some differentiation in what is required of a server and a client. While servers may be able to vary (only 2-D or 3-D for example), there must be a larger minimum set that a client has to implement in order for there to be interoperability. In code my lab is developing, we are already running into this problem with WMS.

George,
Core requires a "DomainSubset" element. While the DomainObject can be n-D. Core requires the DomainSubset with BoundingBox parameter but does not require TemporalSubset. For the BoundingBox, it requires 2D, which I believe refer to "two near horizontal Ds".
If an implementation implements 3D (or >2D), it should have the capability of 2D as well, unless the 3- or n-D (n>2) does not include the "two near horizontal Ds).
I guess that the requirement in core on "two near horizontally Ds", which are traditionally geographic/cartographic Ds (i.e., geographic or projected CRSs), may cause problem for some of the metaocean data such as the vertical profile data I mentioned in one of my previous email. A profile may have only one horizontal D and one or more other Ds such as time and pressure.
