<DIV><SPAN class=946114911-19112009><FONT face=Arial size=2>The UKMO has flagged
up a use case where an atomic dataset might change over time without being a new
version. The example is the 1000 year piControl run where UKMO is likely
to deliver it in several time chunks and would want it to be published before
the full run is complete. Since atomic datasets represent the whole time
period these datasets will grow over time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=946114911-19112009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am tempted to say
each addition to the dataset triggers a new version that deprecates the previous
one but UKMO wasn't too keen on that. Any ideas?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
