The CF standard names are basically captured as SKOS Concept instances. This is done via a :Standard_Name subclass of skos:Concept, and constructing an instance of :Standard_Name for each entry in the original XML file.
The basic RDF definitions are:
@prefix : <http://mmisw.org/ont/cf/parameter/> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#> .
:Standard_Name
a owl:Class ;
rdfs:label "Standard Name" ;
rdfs:subClassOf skos:Concept .
:canonical_units
a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
rdfs:domain :Standard_Name ;
rdfs:range xsd:string .
As an example, the following particular CF name:
<entry id="sea_surface_temperature">
<canonical_units>K</canonical_units>
<description>Sea surface temperature is usually abbreviated as "SST"...</description>
</entry>is converted to the following RDF representation:
:sea_surface_temperature
a :Standard_Name ;
:canonical_units "K" ;
skos:definition "Sea surface temperature is usually abbreviated as \"SST\"..." .
