IDHA VOTABLE XML URL

Tue Apr 8 09:30:50 PDT 2003

hi Alberto.
I am still more late to answer you.!!!

We are very close to send you a document describing how it is
possible to write a Metadata/tree in VOTABLE/IDHA protocol (like
in the considered URL).

In the meantime we are preparing with Thomas Boch a new version of
Aladin which will allow to display such metadatatrees. Simple trees
will also work for SIA consistent outputs, not only for VOTABLE/IDHA protocol
which will hence allow additional features to work.

I plan to report on that in the DAL special session in Cambridge.

Regards
Francois

<What would you think ?
