Version 0.1 Implementation of an XML Schema describing a resource to be used in the Virtual Observatory Project. Based on "Resource and Service Metadata for the Virtual Observatory", Version 6, February 2002 by Bob Hanisch et al. Diff 0.05-0.06: The Topologi tool apparently doesn't like annotations of global elements referenced locally. Although, this does not appear to be in violation of the XML Schema standard, they have been commented out for the time being. Diff 0.06-0.1: Changed target namespace to http://www.ivoa.net/xml/prop/VOResource. This is a base type for defining specific kinds of resources (e.g. service, data collection, etc.). See Resource for a generic definition of a resource. The resource indicated by this element is the one referred to by the given URI. This attribute should be ignored unless the element's content is empty. The URI for another resource that is responsible for maintaining this resource. Member of an itemized list Begin date in decimal years End date in decimal years (optional) This is a base type for defining specific kinds of service descriptions. This is a base type for defining specific kinds of service capability descriptions, each with its own special mark-up schema. This is a base type for defining standard interface capabilities. A standard interface (from the perspective of this schema) is one that has been registeredk, and therefore has a Standard ID. If provided, then any data not provided by the content of this element should default to the corresponding data found in the resource description pointed to by the given URI. The URI should, therefore, refer to a Resource Description. This URI is expected to be resolved by a VO registry. Example: if a Curation element uses this attribute, the default values for the curation data should be drawn from the Curation element of the referred Resource description. A description of one or more VO Resources This element is used as a general container for multiple resource descriptions and is intended to be used as a root element. Any entity that is curated by an organization and is identifiable by a URI Information regarding the general curation of the resource This will often be set to the URI given in the Resource's "managedBy" attribute. Information regarding the general content within or managed by the resource This will often be set to the URI given in the Resource's "managedBy" attribute. Name Given to the Resource A short name or abbreviation for this resource that applications can use to refer to this resource in a compact display. One word or a few letters is recommended. Entity responsible for making the resource available Block describing the entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource Name of Entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource URL pointing to a graphical logo, which may be used to help identify the information source List of topics, object types, or other descriptive keywords about the resource An account of the content of the resource Entity responsible for contributions to the content of the resource Date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource (YYYY-MM-DD) Label associated with creation or availablilty Unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context URL pointing to further information about the resource. In general, this should be a human-readable document. URL pointing to further information about the service Block describing contact persons responsible for the resource Name of contact persons responsible for the resource E-mail address for contacting the persons responsible for the resource Nature or genre of the content of the resource Extent of the scope of the content of the resource Sky coverage of the resource Spectral coverage of the resource Specific Spectral Coverage Description Specific Bandpass Coverage Specification Temporal coverage of the resource. Separate begin and end dates in decimal years (YYYY.DD) Description of the content level, or intended audience Observatory or facility where the data was obtained Instrument used to collect the data Encoding format of data provided by the resource Information about rights held in and over the resource A group or person that manages data or services for VO applications An organization with a focused set of data and services that it maintains. A logical grouping of data which, in general, is composed of one or more accessible datasets. (A dataset is a collection of digitally-encoded data with a that is normally accessible as a single unit, e.g. a file.) A resource that provides an interface for executing some operation or retrieving data. A description (or pointer) to a service interface. Normally, a member of the Interface substitutionGroup is used to provide this information. Interface, by itself, allows no content, and thus can only be used to refer to another description via the defaultsTo attribute. Custom content can be provided by first creating a new type that extends genericInterface. Next, use the Interface element and specify the new type via the xsi:type attribute. A URL that points to a document that presents or describes a service interface. For an Web browser-based service, this might be the URL for the form; for a Web Service, this might be the URL to the WSDL description. It is not the base URL for the service itself (see BaseURL), nor it is a SOAP port URL. The base portion of a URL used to invoke a service with the expectation that an additional string must be appended for the service to execute properly. The syntax of the appended string is defined by the specific service. An identifier for a registered standard. The form of this identifier is expected to conform to the VO standard guidelines. A URL that points to a human-readable document that describes the standard upon which a resource is based. The MIME type of a document returned by an HTTP Get. A Service that is accessible via a Web browser (e.g. as an HTML Form or embedded applet). Note that the URL for help with this form can be put into the Service/ReferenceURL. A service describable by a WSDL document. Note that the URL for help with this service can be put into the Service/ReferenceURL element. A service describable by a GLU Record a specific description of the context and capabilities of a service. By itself, this element can only point to an external document. Custom content can be provided by first creating a new type that extends genericCapability. Next, use the Capability element and specify the new type via the xsi:type attribute. a specific description of the context and capabilities of a standard (registered) service. By itself, this element can only point to an external document. Custom content can be provided by first creating a new type that extends genericCapability. Next, use the Capability element and specify the new type via the xsi:type attribute.
