• Use CF "bounds" attributes
• Verify CF compliance
• Distinguish clearly between HDF and netCDF packing conventions
• When to employ packing attributes
• Mapping between ACDD and ISO
• Make HDF5 files netCDF4-Compatible and CF-compliant within Groups
• Include time dimension in grid structured data
• Order dimensions to facilitate readability of grid structure datasets
• Consider “balanced” chunking for 3-D datasets in grid structures
• Include datum attributes for data in grid structures

Dataset Interoperability Recommendations for Earth Science: Part 2 (RFC-036)

• Character set for user-defined group, dataset, and attribute names
• Consistent units attribute value for variables across one data collection
• Use the units attribute only for variables with physical units
• Include time coordinate in swath structured data
• Keep coordinate values in coordinate variables
• Include Georeference Information with Geospatial Coordinates
• Not-a-Number (NaN) Value
• Standardize file extensions for HDF5/netCDF files
• Ensure Granule's Filename Uniqueness Across Different Dataset Releases
• Adopt Semantically Rich Dataset Release Identifiers
• Date-Time Information in Granule Filenames
