Hi JohnI would like to start evaluating the THREDDS cataloguing system to see if it can coexist (or be used by) the Earth System Grid. To do so I would need the addition of two names to the controlled
vocabularies in the DTD, specifically:o MetadaType = "NetCDF" (for the netcdf schema which we are jointly developing) o ServiceType = "GridFTP" (since this will be the most common access protocol for ESG).
Is this possible? thanks, Luca
