Operation Tags

Every Cate built-in operation should have at least one tag, which can be the name of its module within the cate.ops package. For operations in io.py either input our output tag should be used instead of the module name.

Other tags may be added from the following list:

• utility for any utility operations
• internal for internal operations, they will not be shown in user interfaces
• geometric for geometric operations
• point for operations that operate on single lon,lat points
• spatial for predominantly spatial operations
• temporal for predominantly temporal operations
• filter for operations that filter out things from an input to create an output

I was recently asked which of the operations are relevant for climate science. Therefore, it may be good to have also the tag

• climate for operations typically used in climate analyses
