How to align with NVS definition in the OG1.0 format

[vturpin]

Hi,

I've realized that our approach to defining controlled vocabulary in the format is a bit unclear, particularly in relation to the NVS (NERC Vocabulary Server). The NVS provides a "concept name," an alternative label, and a definition. For example, see this link.

How do we incorporate these elements into our format descriptions, where we use variable/attribute names, long_names, and standard_names?

Do we map elements between NVS and OG1.0? Do we follow conventions for some and leave flexibility for others?

I believe this is a topic worth discussing for clarification and alignment. It's not urgent, but having an agreement and documenting it somewhere would be beneficial.
