Roadmap

Spectral Data Model

SED/Spectrum

Holds metadata on per data point and per-observation basis for combining spectral observations

Implementations by Budavari, Busko

Related work by Osuna, Chiligarian

SAO implementation and Java library in work (McCusker)

Only minor changes in recent discussion

Updating to resolve conflicts with SSAP protocol document

STC

STC

Characterization

Define different levels of detail in giving observation context

Lowest level : LOCATION, a position in N-d parameter space

Next level : BOUNDS, a range bounding the data

Next level: SUPPORT, multiple ranges and regions giving the N-d “field-of-view”

Deepest level: SENSITIVITY, giving the depth as a function of coordinate

Similar approach for Resolution

Close relationship to STC objects under discussion

Implementation

Will continue working on SED library and simple applications (display, convert data).

Need 'footprint service' library, initially just spatial regions and then full STC. “Is my star in this data?” (at level of detail greater than provided by registry – but still need link to VOQL)

Need library to convert between different levels of Characterization (given Support, return Bounds or vice versa, etc.)

Kyoto goals

Joint meeting with DAL concentrating on Spectrum/SED: develop implementation plan

Characterization

review XML schemas provided by Strasbourg and Maryland, and Arnold's input on STC:

Goal is to finalize approach here and identify test applications

Catalogs, Quantity

Continue work merging Quantity and other schemas
