UGRID test showin version 2.0

[SBFRF]

when i do compliance-checker -l from the command line i get responded with below

 - UGRID:2.0
 - acdd:1.1
 - acdd:1.3
 - cf:1.6
 - cf:1.7
 - ioos:0.1
 - ioos:1.1
 - ....

where ugrid is listed as version 2.0 but from http://ugrid-conventions.github.io/ugrid-conventions/ states that they're on version 1. Am I missing where 2.0 exists?

@ChrisBarker-NOAA I was wondering about this too, the conventions page does say version 1. Is there a version 2? Or is that to mean cf-1.11?

That change happened in #12. I'm not sure we have enough information to answer that questions. The person that submitted that PR is not longer working on RPS as far as I know.

With that said. This plugin is kind of abandoned. We are probably better off investing in CF 1.11 in compliance-checker, that includes the UGRID specs, and retire this plugin.

I’ll need to dig in a bit — it may be 1.1, but certainly not 2. While included in CF 1.11, the CF conventions refer to UGRID, rather than duplicating it — so I believe it has its own version still.

Sure. I meant more from a Software perspective, retire this repository, and implement it correctly in compliance-checker's CF-1.11 module. If it is CF it should be close to compliance-checker and not a plugin. Does that make sense?

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

Sure -- I have no idea the implication of plugin vs part of the base code -- but if that's easier, then great.

Any progress is seeing if we can leverage the Met Office's checker? Would that be easier as a plugin?

It is mostly maintainability. Having the main checkers in a single repo will make things easier.

Not really but I would start with their checker instead of this one for the compliance-checker CF-1.11 implementation. We should also touch base with them again and ask for collaboration.
