Jonathan and Arnold,

As part of the EGSO project (a solar VO effort in Europe), we have just 
completed a revision of our solar data model to be employed in 
implementing our system. I would be interested in hearing your opinions 
if you have a chance to take a look at the model. It is perhaps more of 
a "big picture" than some of the work you are doing on quantities, 
coordinates, etc. but it may be interesting nonetheless. Do you think 
this might be of enough interest to circulate on the IVOA data model 
mailing list?

The document can be found at:

Thanks in advance for whatever comments you might have.

sincerely,
