What's new in Compliance Checker 2.3.0:

New Features:
Run compliance checker on metadata files (*.cdl). Testing large NetCDF files
could take a long time. Now you can reduce that time by checking compliance
against a metadata text file representation of the data. Use the NetCDF Utility
ncdump to generate a .CDL file and use the compliance checker against the
metadata file to get your score.

CF standard names are checked against the standard name table version specified
in the global attribute :standard_name_vocabulary. If the version specified is
not the version packaged with compliance checker, that version will be
downloaded and used in the standard name check.

Are there checks that are taking too long to run? Now you can skip checks using
the command line. Use the -s flag and specify the name of the check function
you wish to skip. For example

compliance-checker -s check_high

Enhancements have also been made to the compliance checker web version
https://data.ioos.us/compliance/index.html.

Now you can batch process files hosted on an OPeNDAP server using the new
compliance checker web API. Refer to the wiki for details:
https://github.com/ioos/compliance-checker-web/wiki/API

Descriptions for each of the checkers and helpful resources are now available.

Bug Fixes:

  • Save text output to file from the command line
  • Remove unnecessary CF check - check_alternative_coordinates
  • Updated the packaged CF Standard names table to v36
  • Added NODC sea names check to gliderDAC.
  • Fixes bug that was overwriting JSON output when multiple checks are performed
