VOTable Session, Beijing IVOA Interoperability meeting

Tuesday, 8:30-10:00

The aim of this VOTable session (Tuesday morning) is mainly to come to an agreement for referencing STC (Space/Time Coordinates) in a VOTable, in terms of GROUPs/utypes. Scenarios were posted on the VOTable list - without answers up to now. A discussion on this topic took place in Moscow, but the attendance was rather sparse. We hope to reach the conclusions during this meeting.

The other topics are:

• News from applications
• how to describe relations between tables (e.g. primary/foreign keys)
• discussion of changes to the VOTable schema.

The viewgraphs to support the discussions at the meeting are attached; conclusions of the discussions which are felt to be important for applications were presented on Tuesday afternoon at the seesion 2 of the Applications Working Group.
