OGC NetCDF specifications: Towards a unified Interface for Earth Observation data in the Geospatial Information domain Stefano Nativi (ESSI-lab of CNR-IIA), Ben Domenico (UNIDATA/UCAR) and Ethan Davis (UNIDATA/UCAR)
OGC netCDF Standardization Working Group (SWG) Extend further the existing netCDF standard with extension modules for additional data models, encodings, and conventions.
Use netCDF as a unified model and interface for encoding and accessing multidisciplinary Geosciences data. Fill the gap between the netCDF Community and the Geospatial Information Community
