Clarifying rules around controlled vocabularies #15

Open znichollscr opened 2 months ago

znichollscr commented 2 months ago

In short, it's not clear to me what the rules for the controlled vocabularies are. For example, which fields are compulsory, which can be inferred from data, which are only required for ESGF (i.e. are things that data providers shouldn't worry about, but tooling after submission does need to handle).

To get the conversation started, I've made a google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oLK4mWW6TX2YPrhGoLdMLcrK7vX1flU3BjiheTb2Hwk/edit?usp=sharing

Once we've got something a bit more concrete, I will pull everything back into issues that we can track across the various repositories.

@durack1 your thoughts on the google doc above would be great. Is it also worth getting Karl's thoughts? (I assume we should bring Vaishali in too, but I was going to wait until we had more model specific questions before doing that)
