TAP VOResource Extension Schema

About creating a VOResource extension

The VOResource spec has some specific recommendations about how to create an extension schema; however, a "how-to" create an extension presentation gives an introduction to the process.

In summary, the RWG recommends the following steps for defining a new extension:

1. Name and define the concepts to be captured
2. Create a prototype VOResource instance
3. Create the Schema Extension
4. Describe the extension in an IVOA document (preferably as a section of a protocol document).

Steps 1: Concepts to Include

This is just a prototype list of concepts to try to capture in the TAP extension.
