Hi All, 

Following the DAL session this afternoon we need a specification to know the content of datalink. 

Having a look at it it looks like the field “semantics” is the place? 

This is important for time series data, which is distributed via datalink more and more often. 

The term timeseries would not be enough by itself to know what the content of datalink is since it could be light curves (tabular data), images or spectra. These are the most common cases, and I would like to propose a common usage, e.g.:

timeseries-lightcurve
timeseries-radialvelocities
timeseries-spectra
timeseries-images

Opinions or comments? Does this make sense to you?

Ada
