Hi: I would recommend the ACDD attribute “references”: references Published or web-based references that describe the data or methods used to produce it. Recommend URIs (such as a URL or DOI) for papers or other references. This attribute is defined in the CF conventions. In CF global attributes there is also a “comment” attribute where such info could be placed in a generic sense. I have often thought of this use case too and its an area where ACDD or CF could be improved. The metadata_link could point to an ISO 19115 record where multiple citations could point to other datasets cleanly.

I have a hard time figuring out which NetCDF list does what; there are 'best practices' threads on several lists, interspersed with install and development threads. The OceanSITES project would like to find the most useful way to provide a link within a NetCDF file to an external dataset. > Another piece I am missing ... is an optional field, that link to a > data DOI.

Is this something we discussed as part of ESIP's ACDD recommendations? I've been searching through my store of old messages, and haven't come up with anything.
