[Go-essp-tech] FW: New answer to: File paths inside wget scripts seem to vary somewhat

[stephen.pascoe at stfc.ac.uk]

The CMIP5-Help application is beginning to get used.  I encourage ESGF developers to sign-up and get involved.

For instance here's a question about adoption of drs urls from ESG-NCI.  Estani and I have both contributed answers, it would be good to have the PCMDI perspective.

Stephen.

Hello spascoe,

estani<http://esg-dev1.badc.rl.ac.uk/users/9/estani> has just posted a new answer on CMIP5 Help to the question File paths inside wget scripts seem to vary somewhat<http://esg-dev1.badc.rl.ac.uk/questions/20/file-paths-inside-wget-scripts-seem-to-vary-somewhat>:

There is a standard for this called DRS<http://cmip-pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5/docs/cmip5_data_reference_syntax.pdf> and even a best practices documentation<http://esg-pcmdi.llnl.gov/internal/esg-data-node-documentation/cmip5-best-practices>. Sadly we can not force data providers to comply with them. We hope that after the initial discrepancies are recognized, data providers will slowly migrate to this standard.

Don't forget to come over and cast your vote.

Thanks,
CMIP5 Help

P.S. You can always fine-tune which notifications you receive here<http://esg-dev1.badc.rl.ac.uk/users/4/spascoe/subscriptions/>.
