---+ Simulation data model
NOTE: pages on SNAP data model are being re-organised

This page shows the progress in the creation of an IVOA data model for simulations. It contains links to pages with UML models, XML
Schema serialisations, and documentation them. On this page one also finds links to relevant references. 
   * [[IvoaTheory_SNAPDataModel_UML][UML diagrams]]
   * [[IvoaTheory_SNAPDataModel_XML][XML Schema serialisations]]
   * [[IvoaTheory_SNAPDataModelOnlinDoc][Online version]] of the documentation of the data model
   * [[IvoaTheory_SNAPDataModelDiscussion][Discussions page]]. In the form of a FAQ we discuss various issues and describe reasons for particular resolutions to them that we have made.

---++ Drafts for IVOA simulation data model (continuously updated)
UML2 diagrams have been created by (and can be read) using
[[http://www.magicdraw.com/][MagicDraw]] community edition v 12.1.
   * Analysis model of the simulation domain. This model is _not_ part of the specification and is only added here as background material. It is bascially an alternative, still wordy version of the [[http://www.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/IvoaDataModel/DomainModelv0.9.1.doc][Domain model for astronomy]].
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/DomainModelWithTemplate.xml.zip][UML2]] 
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/SimulationDomainModel.doc][.doc]] (in progress)
   * Logical model for Simple Numerical Access Protocol
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/SNAPSimulationDM.xml.zip][UML2]]
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/SNAP_SimulationDM.doc][doc]] (in progress)
      * images below

   * XML Schema of a Simulation Data Model motivated by the [[http://ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SpectrumDM.html Spectral Data Model]]. Posted by RickWagner.
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/Simulation.xsd][Simulation.xsd]] XML Schema
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/SimulationInstance.xml][SimulationInstance.xml]] Sample instance document, which validates against the schema.
      * Images:
         * [[%ATTACHURL%/SimSchemaAll.png][All elements and data types]]
