&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Pretty please?  We allow access to our tables via a number of<br>
&gt;&gt; protocols (SIA2, SSA, SCS, TAP).  I really, really, really do not want<br>
&gt;&gt; to maintain different UCD&#39;s for each protocol.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; True, that&#39;s a wart, but changing the UCDs *would* actually break<br>
&gt; clients.  Also, on the server side it&#39;s not *that* much of an issue.<br>
&gt; In DaCHS, it&#39;s about 20 lines of relatively benign code -- essentially:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;               ucdCasts = {<br>
&gt;                       &quot;<a href="http://meta.id" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">meta.id</a>;meta.main&quot;: {&quot;ucd&quot;: &quot;ID_MAIN&quot;, &quot;datatype&quot;: &quot;char&quot;,<br>
&gt;                               &quot;arraysize&quot;: &quot;*&quot;},<br>
&gt;                       &quot;pos.eq.ra;meta.main&quot;: {&quot;ucd&quot;: &quot;POS_EQ_RA_MAIN&quot;,<br>
&gt;                               &quot;datatype&quot;: &quot;double&quot;},<br>
&gt;                       &quot;pos.eq.dec;meta.main&quot;: {&quot;ucd&quot;: &quot;POS_EQ_DEC_MAIN&quot;,<br>
&gt;                               &quot;datatype&quot;: &quot;double&quot;},<br>
&gt;               }<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; (and a bit of support code in the serialiser that&#39;s required for<br>
&gt; SIAP, too)-- and with SCS 1.1, the datatype cast could go away.<br>
<br>
</span>I would like to provide more than 3 UCD&#39;s.  They are kind of useful.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>But, apart from the mandatory &quot;trio&quot; you can add whatever UCD you like,</div><div>actually you&#39;re more than welcome to do so.</div><div>Sorry, I don&#39;t understand the meaning of the last comment you made.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Marco</div></font></span></div></div></div>
