Could put it next to the number found line in issue #5

In the term view include mapping sections (in principle, one per semantic repository and/or SPARQL endpoint) with:

• Mapped terms according to SKOS properties (exactMatch, closeMatch, etc.,), OWL's sameAs property, and others.
• Counts of mappings for the term.

The retrieved URIs will be rendered with hyperlinks as appropriate but further navigation will in general be via direct opening of those links and not through this tool.

[suggestion received via email]

(suggested by JG)

Tool shows 2489 total terms but the original vocabulary has more.

Putting 'depth' into the name filter field (and hitting return) does not exclude some terms that should be excluded.

The column search boxes don't appear to do Glob/Regex searches with Glob or Regex set. (I would assume the setting at the top applies to all searches.)

Just initially capturing interesting pointers provided here ioos/catalog#72 (comment)

on the topic of CF standard_name navigation and parsing, here are some resources (documentation and online systems) I find useful. Some are outdated, but still pretty useful or demonstrate useful ways of skinning the CF SN cat:

• Parsing CF standard names
• Keyword-centred list for CFmetadata Standard Names. Explained in more detail on an email to the CF list.
• CF Standard Names Organized by facets (from EnvThs/CUNY). And an example from this system, listing terms under the "Vector > Wind" facet

and possibly other browsers (testing so far has only been on Chrome), for example, on firefox 30.0 on a Mac the search and page fields are not displayed correctly:

The idea here is to provide link(s) from this field to the associated units definition(s) in some semantic repository.

In general, we would probably need to parse the string according to the unit grammar to properly extract the relevant components for a comprehensive association of links. However, unless there is already some Javascript library for this purpose, we can simply tokenize the string and provide links only for the atomic components that have corresponding symbols in the UDUNITS vocabularies.

The term Default is an ambiguous term for indicating non-regular expression searching. It should be something more like 'Plaintext', or 'Literal' or 'Exact'.

Using glob search generally now is failing to complete the search. (Only the top search bar appears, nothing below that.) The URL is updated (http://mmisw.org/experimental/cfsn/#/search/!g/) but nothing appears. Just entering that URL appears to duplicate the problem. I thought glob worked at first, now I'm not so sure.

Searching on ^age, to find standard variables beginning with 'age', as in http://mmisw.org/experimental/cfsn/#/search/!r/%5Eage, does not find the variable age_of_stratospheric_air (http://mmisw.org/experimental/cfsn/#/age_of_stratospheric_air).

Which is too weird, since the other two age_ variables are found.

Currently this is based on a simple regex (lowercase letters with embedded underscores), which does apply to most real names but skip others, and creates false positives, etc.

When making request to http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/sparql/sparql sometimes a 404 error is reported with the log showing:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

So, check with NERC about actual status of this capability.

Right now search always looks in the definitions, but it would be nice to be able to search by name as well.

In particular, links to appropriate vocabulary sources, and associated "version_number" ; also the version of the ontology representation.

The front page shows the number of terms in the whole vocabulary; it should also show the number displayed given the current search.

Could show this as "Number displayed: ####" (directly under the Number of Terms line), or as "Number of Terms In Vocabulary" vs "Number of Terms Displayed"

Categories as those shown in http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/27/build/cf-standard-name-table.html , but with checkboxes to allow multiple category selection.

What other classification options would be desirable?

Find some way for this so the tool starts appearing in results when people do google searches for CF names and related info.

Some initial refs:

• http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.no/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html

Currently (0.0.6), only the global search is captured, eg,
http://mmisw.org/experimental/cfsn/#/search/zenith
would be nice to also capture any search values associated with the individual columns.

CF SN include some loooong terms, which force the cell widths in tables to the maximum term size.

This can be overridden with the CSS style
word-wrap: break-word; (and maybe also overflow-wrap: break-word)
for the cells in question. (see e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3058866/how-to-force-a-line-break-in-a-loooooong-word-in-a-div for details.)

I think it would be nice to have this as the formatting for our table cells. (Though once I see it I might change my mind....)
