New VOTable 1.4 WD (2019-03-18)

[Tom Donaldson]

Thanks for the review, Mark.  I’ve added these as proposed changes to the notes on https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VOTable14WorkingDraftNotes .  Assuming there are no objections, I'll make the edits soon in volute, and they'll make it into the next version we publish.

Cheers,
Tom

    Tom,
    
    a few very minor things I've spotted this time round.
    I don't think they warrant a new WD, but you could make the edits or
    make a note of them for next time the document gets updated.
    
    Sec 3:
       "documents may include schemaLocation attribute" 
        -> "documents may include the schemaLocation attribute"
       (or "a" or "some" ...)
    
    Sec 3.5:
       "A \elem{TIMESYS} element referenced via a ref attribute MUST..."
       -> "A \elem{TIMESYS} element referenced via a \attr{ref} attribute MUST..."?
    
    Sec 4.1, item concerning the ref attribute:
       "(reference to the GROUP attribute which specifies the coordinate frame)"
       -> "(reference to the COOSYS attribute which specifies the coordinate frame)"
    
    Sec 5:
           <INFO name="HISTORY">
           The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002
           </INFO> 
    
        I've just noticed this is not legal - the value attribute
        (optional at VOTable 1.0 but mandatory since VOTable 1.1)
        is missing.  It should read:
    
           <INFO name="HISTORY"
                 value="The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002"/>
    
        But that mistake has been there for a long time, so you may choose
        not to make the edit this time round.
    
    Also, probably the "STC" reference in figure 1 should be removed now.
    Can't remember if I mentioned it before; if the problem is that
    it's too hard to edit the PDF graphic, fair enough, forget I said it.

I will collect suggestions on the wiki, which also tracks the changes made so far and proposals for the next VOTable version (likely 1.5):  https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VOTable14WorkingDraftNotes
