Dear all, as we found NetCDF of particular interest in our work, we have been creating drafts for specifying some competencies revolving around NetCDF for the HPC Certification Forum https://hpc-certification.org which aims to standardize the HPC knowledge representation into fine-grained competences for the sake of all practitioners. In the long run, the goal is to make the skills examinable and certify this knowledge. Generally, a skill can be grouped into Basic/Intermediate/Advanced, where we formulated the Basic versions for NetCDF now. The expectation is that with a basic skill level a practitioner would know the key knowledge (needed to do 90% of the tasks) and that is needed on a daily basis when dealing with the skill. The question is, is something important missing, are the learning objectives precise enough? The relevant skills are: == Knowledge == NetCDF: https://www.hpc-certification.org/wiki/skill-tree/k/1/3/2/4/1/b NetCDF/CF https://www.hpc-certification.org/wiki/skill-tree/k/1/3/2/4/3/b == Software Development == NetCDF https://www.hpc-certification.org/wiki/skill-tree/sd/1/2/5/1/1/b Generally, the HPC Certification Forum hopes that experts from domains will adopt some of these competencies, i.e., support the specification of them and ensure that they are sound. Videos about the HPC Certification Forum (and skill definitions) can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_PBXYC_ExoMcwTWrBnWPJHrRFgwOE2_y If anyone is interested to give feedback to the skills, we'd appreciate it. There are various ways to suggest improvements (e.g., Git, Wiki, Slack).
