Here is my first set of generated names (11 Nov 2008)

var_name     --> [amount,of], substance, in_plant.
var_name     --> [amount,of], substance, in_physical.
var_name     --> [rate,of], plant_process, in_plant.
var_name     --> [rate,of], physical_process, in_physical.

in_plant    --> [in], plant, plant_part.
in_plant    --> [].

in_physical  --> [in], physical.
in_physical  --> [].

This page is for reporting on experiments with simple grammars for variable names.

It is reasonably common for variable names to include a reference to mathematical functions.  For example:

• - maximum temperature
• - ratio leaf carbon to root carbon.

This page is concerned with XML-related aspects of VarML.

This page contains the actual Prolog grammar rules for CF-metadata "standard names".  

This is actually the master copy, which can be accessed by Prolog programs using an http library.    Therefore, if you have edit permissions for this page, please change the content below the horizontal line only of you know what you are doing!

This is the home page for a grammar for CF-metadata "standard names" in Prolog.

This page contains the XSugar stylesheet for inter-converting between CF-metadata's plain-text format for standard names and a corresponding XML format.   This stylesheet may be used for parsing standard names (i.e. check that they conform to rules specifying how such names may be constructed), as well as for conversion in either direction.

Note that everything below the horizontal line is that actual XSugar stylesheet - this is the master copy.  So only edit it if you know what you are doing!

This page is concerned with the use of XSugar for parsing CF metadata "standard names", and for inter-conversion between CF-metadata's plain-text format and the corresponding XML format.
