DPDG V2.0 Sections 3.3.2 and 3.3.5.2 - Virtual Zarr stores

by olittlej » Mon Mar 10, 2025 5:41 pm America/New_York

While reviewing the DPDG cheat sheet poster, I looked over these section of the DPDG wondered if section 3.3.2 on Zarr stores could/should refer to virtual Zarr stores rather than placing that exclusively in a later subsection on Kerchunk. There's a significant chance that virtual Zarr stores may end up being used more than actual Zarr stores, and other chunk manifest formats aside from Kerchunk are becoming popular, like VirtualiZarr. Perhaps one approach would be to have a subsection within 3.3.2 on virtual Zarr stores and refer to Kerchunk, VirtualiZarr (and possibly DMR++ files) as potential chunk manifest formats that support virtual Zarr stores?
