    Dear Semantics &amp; DAL members,<br>
    <br>
    I have a proposal here for the revision of the UCD terms in the SSA
    specification.<br>
    <a moz-do-not-send="true"
      href="https://ivoa.net/documents/SSA/20120210/">https://ivoa.net/documents/SSA/20120210/</a><br>
    <br>
    Currently<br>
    <i>instr.fov  </i>and <i>meta.curation </i> are two terms in the
    spec which: <br>
    - are misused  with respect to the meaning of the element they
    described : <i>instr.fov</i><br>
    - or are not<i> </i>compliant with UCD Rules : meta.curation is
    defined as primary term in UCDList1.4 and used also as secondary
    term . <br>
    <i> <br>
      <br>
      this mail will discuss the first term :<br>
      <b>instr.fov :</b><br>
    </i>The proposed changes for the invalid UCDs in SSAP are the
    following<i>, </i><i><br>

    Rationale : <br>
    <i>instr.fov</i> represents a geometrical shape on the sky, where an
    instrument is observing  a signal.<br>
    <br>
    Currently in SSA 1.1, only <i>instr.fov</i> is used  to describe
    the Aperture details. <br>
    This does not allow to distinguish between the various properties
    describing this field of view.<br>
    'Aperture angular size' is better classified as  <font size="+3"><span
        style="font-size: 8.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial
        Narrow&quot;,sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New
        Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">phys.angSize;
        instr.fov</span></font> in the UCD vocabulary.<br>
    <br>
    Aperture region, which represents the geometry and points that
    delimits the FoV corresponds to <i>pos.outline;instr.fov.<br>
      pos.outline </i>was introduced later than the SSA specification,
    but applies fully here. <i> <br>
      <br>
    </i>Field of view area, the area in sq. degrees is also a dimension
    of the <i>instr.fov</i> , and not the FoV itself.<br>
    <i>phys.angArea;instr.fov  </i>can do for this case.<br>
    <br>
    UCDList EN-1.4 defines <i>instr.fov</i> as <br>
    <span style="caret-color: rgb(201, 209, 217); color: rgb(201, 209, 217); font-family: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, &quot;SF Mono&quot;, Menlo, Consolas, &quot;Liberation Mono&quot;, monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(13, 17, 23); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">S | instr.fov                         |  Field of view</span><br>
    <br>
    This definition is fuzzy, and can be clarified and replaced by <br>
    <span style="caret-color: rgb(201, 209, 217); color: rgb(201, 209, 217); font-family: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, &quot;SF Mono&quot;, Menlo, Consolas, &quot;Liberation Mono&quot;, monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(13, 17, 23); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">S | instr.fov                         |  Related to Field of view
</span><br>
    for the next UCDList update UCDList1.5.<br>
    <br>
    Proposed Action : change definition of instr.fov to Related to field
    ov view . <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    I expect this to be a first draft to start to write a SSA errata ,
    as proposed by Markus earlier. <br>
    <br>
    Any opinion, comments , improvenents you would like to propose? <br>
    <br>
    Many thanks , <br>

      While it may be a nice service to complete UCD assignment in a

      version of SSAP, I think for the present purpose (remove<br>
      contradictions between different IVOA specs), we should restrict<br>
      ourselves to the UCDs that actually conflict between SSAP and UCD

      fix those. That's urgent in my book. Anything else may be nice to<br>
      have in order to make SSAP responses more palatable to generic<br>
      clients. But that, I claim, is a rather exotic use case, and
      anyway<br>
      it doesn't seem particularly urgent.<br>
      <br>
      If you're sure you don't want to adapt UCD to SSAP usage, then it<br>
      seems the only way forward is to write an Erratum for SSAP, and
      that<br>
      necessarily needs to be restricted to the columns with the invalid<br>
      UCDs.<br>
      <br>
      Who'll write this? Should I?<br>
