<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Thank you for preparing this erratum which I agree with of
course.</p>
<p>About 3-factor semantics and SODA ID parameter I will make the
following comment: <br>
</p>
<p>I thought 3-factor semantics was meanly thought for
interpretation of custom parameters in service descriptors.</p>
<p>In the case of a parameter part of the standard like SODA ID, the
definition of the parameter is unambiguous. <br>
</p>
<p>Maybe this could be reflected by the rationale ?<br>
</p>
<p>However a 3-factor description is still useful for homegeneity
and comparison to other parameters.</p>
<p>Best Regards<br>
</p>

The Erratum content I fully agree with, and as a co-author
I'm<br>
somewhat embarrassed I missed this error; well, it was a
fairly late<br>
addition (rev. 3961). Still, I should've checked the
diffs. Watch<br>
me write in dust and ashes.<br>
<br>
I have, through both dust and ashes, a couple of more or
less formal<br>
nits to pick:<br>
<br>
(a) the part with "thus achieving" in Erratum content is
part of the<br>
rationale and should, I feel, go there. I'd like the
erratum a lot<br>
better if everything starting "thus achieving" went from
"Erratum<br>
Content" and instead we'd append to "Rationale":<br>
<br>
To remedy the situation, we propose here to use<br>
"<a href="http://meta.id" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">meta.id</a>;meta.dataset" instead.
This achieves:<br>
<br>
* typo amendment<br>
* reference to a dataset rather than an organization<br>
* using a UCD referring to an identifier rather than a
resource locator<br>
* keeping the identifier opaque as required by the
specification<br>
<br>
(b) The impact assessment is overly optimistic. This
*would* be a<br>
major thing if anyone did 3-factor semantics on ID. Which I
think is<br>
not the case -- since there's not been much evolution on
Datalink<br>
processing services before SODA, the SODA parameter names
have, as it<br>
were, been reserved from the start, and so going by names
exclusively<br>
is a fairly safe thing to do for them.<br>
<br>
Also, the argument that no SODA services have been
registered is a<br>
weak one -- in general, there is no reason to register them,
as<br>
nobody has yet offered a scenario that would make SODA
discovery<br>
desirable; I certainly don't register any of mine. Hence,
we can't<br>
know how many SODA services are in place (I alone have ~10,
and other<br>
DaCHS operators run at least another five).<br>
<br>
I'd hence propose to strike the text starting with "On the
client<br>
side" and instead write:<br>
<br>
On the client side, changing a UCD will break clients
using 3-factor<br>
semantics to find the parameter to pass the identifier in.<br>
However, as ID is defined by both Datalink and SODA and no<br>
competing definition ever existed, no known client
actually uses<br>
3-factor semantics to locate the ID parameter and instead
just uses<br>
the hard-coded name "ID". Hence, to our knowledge the UCD
changed<br>
here is ignored by clients, and no breakage will occur. <br>
<br>
The safety of changing this UCD is also plausible in view
of the<br>
fact that several data centers (e.g., GAVO's Heidelberg
data<br>
center; example here:<br>
<a href="http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/feros/q/sdl/dlmeta?ID=ivo%3A%2F%2Forg.gavo.dc%2F%7E%3Fferos%2Fdata%2Ff02891.fits" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/feros/q/sdl/dlmeta?ID=ivo%3A%2F%2Forg.gavo.dc%2F%7E%3Fferos%2Fdata%2Ff02891.fits</a>)<br>
have been successfully operating SODA services that used<br>
<a href="http://meta.id" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">meta.id</a>;meta.main as a UCD for
ID without interoperabilty issues.<br>
<br>
This latter observation perhaps can also count as an urgent
call for<br>
validators...<br>
