 ## The obs4MIPs data specifications
 
-The obs4MIPs data specifications (ODS) provide the detailed technical alignment between CMIP standard model output and obs4MIPs-compliant products. [ODS2.1](docs/ODSv2p1.pdf) has been used to prepare obs4MIPs-compliant datasets during much of the evaluation stage of CMIP6.  
+The obs4MIPs data specifications (ODS) provide the detailed technical alignment between CMIP standard model output and obs4MIPs-compliant products. The most recent version, [ODS2.5](../docs/Obs4MIPsDataSpecifications2.5_Finalized.pdf), was finalized 15 April 2024. Refinements to ODS can be expected to ensure alignment with CMIP7.
 
-Currently, an updated version of ODS is being developed to improve the transparency of dataset preparation.  Comments are welcome (obs4MIPs-admin@llnl.gov) on [this draft](docs/Obs4MIPsDataSpecifications2.5_NEARFINAL-noedits.pdf), which is expected to be finalized in early 2024.
