Ok, so I could use two <variables> elements to provide all these descriptions, like so:Currently, the schema only allows one <variables> element per dataset. The schema defines it like this<variables vocabulary="CF-1.0"><variable name="SST" vocabulary_name="sea_surface_temperature" units="degC"/><!-- Foobar omitted because it does not have a CF standard_name --> </variables> <variables vocabulary="human-readable"><variable name="SST" vocabulary_name="OI Cloud-free SST, blah blah blah" units="degC"/> <variable name="Foobar" vocabulary_name="My foobar variable" units="m" /></variables>It looks like the catalog schema provides for multiple variables elements, so this would work for me.
<xsd:element ref="variables"/>and the default for the minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes is one. So, I don't think a catalog with a <dataset> element that had two child <variables> elements would validate.
How are you planning on your catalog being used? Are you trying to feed this information into another system?
