A sample standard name table as used in the h5RDMtoolbox. This is an example standard name table and used for testing and demonstration purposes in the h5RDMtoolbox package.
A manage.py python file is provided to perform a check and to sort the table (stored as a yaml file). It is recommended to run the file manage.py before publishing the table. The below table shows the table. The table is also produced in the python file:
Table of standard names| Standard Name | Canonical Units | Description |
