<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I suppose what I'm getting at is would the Gateway detect driving_model_id=ERAINT should result in a facet value for that dataset or just ignore it. Also I think the P2P index node will index files and datasets
separately. In theory it should therefore include this facet to both the dataset and all files it contains but will it now and should it in the future?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">More generally, do we want to use this inheritance feature for key/value pairs that result in facets in our user interfaces and search APIs? This gets to an underlying design decision about what information
we expose at the file level and what at the dataset level. It is the case that each CMIP5 file has a model_id but this property isn't exposed in the THREDDS as file properties, only dataset properties.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I agree that we need to formalize an ESG profile. <br>
<br>
To that end, the THREDDS XML schema allows for the inheritance of metadata to be controlled by an attribute. And the schema allows for more than one <metadata> element with different inheritance in a particular <dataset>. Perhaps all that is needed is to
get the inheritance right.<br>
<br>
But, isn't it the case in the example you sent that the inheritance is in fact correct. A variable in this data set has the property driving_model_id=ERAINT, for example. What are the properties that were added that should not be inherited?
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've just received an excellent example of why we need to formalise an ESG profile for THREDDS catalogs. Henrik Wiberg has added some extra THREDDS properties to support the CORDEX project (see the attached email for links). He's put
these properties in a <metadata> element within the top-level dataset element. This is valid THREDDS but I'm not sure what ESG would do with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Properties in <metadata> elements implies they apply to all dataset elements contained within the current one. Now the new search engine will index properties in files as well as datasets we need to decide whether we are going to support
this feature of THREDDS. My guess is that the Gateway and P2P index wouldn't process this right.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My instinct is that there should be a clear distinction between properties associated with a dataset and those associated with the files it contains -- therefore in this case we'd need to move the properties out of the metadata section.<o:p></o:p></p>
