The CF Vocabulary is now included in the ESS Terminology Service

Climate and Forecast Standard Names (CF) has been added to the TIB TS and the ESS collection.

Climate and Forecast Standard Names Ontology is a structured representation of the Climate and Forecast (CF) standard names, which are widely used in climate and forecast data across atmospheric, surface, and ocean domains. The ontology captures every CF parameter as a SKOS concept, providing a clear and organized framework for data interoperability and integration.

This ontology is a simplified version of the CF vocabulary P07, which is maintained by the NERC Vocabulary Server (NVS) at the National Oceanography Centre - British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). By leveraging this structure, it enables more seamless integration and standardization of environmental data across various platforms and systems. For more information, visit CF Vocabulary P07.
