Data Model URI utype

[Mireille Louys]

Dear Markus, Dear all,

my take on this , with no full agreement up to now from the DM WG is  
to have for each model an item called : DataModelReference
We could then have attributes to this class , for each data model like :
DataModelReference.Name
DataModelReference.Version
DataModelReference.Uri

In your examples this would give :
<PARAM datatype="char" arraysize"*" name="DMURI"  
utype="char:DataModelReference.Uri"  
value="http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/CharacterisationDM-v1.13"/>

<PARAM datatype="char" arraysize"*" name="DMURI"  
utype="stc:DataModelReference.Uri" value="http://www.ivoa.net/stc/1.0"/>

This is very close to your suggestion, and requires that each IVOA  
data model have this item defined.

SSA has a definition and utype of the same kind in : Dataset.DataModel
that can be generalised as I suggest.

When the data model uri is uniquely defined according to an IVOA rule,  
then it can concatenates all info in just one field.

Any comments / suggestion from DM/DAL members?
Many thanks, Mireille
