Light curves in DAL

[Petr Skoda]

Hi all

I did not follow too much the recent evolution on photometric data model 
and SSAPv2 - so sorry for naive question :

What is a current best practice to express light curves in VO ?
So far I have seen some services (e.g. COROT) looking like SSAP with 
wavelength axis changed in time - which works well in SPLAT and VOSPEC but 
I havent yet seen any proper VO protocol on other observations - e.g. 
microlensing surveys etc ...

I have now the opportunity to use students for some development in Java 
and so I was thinking about reshaping some archives of lightcurves of our 
interest (from local projects of variable stars observation) to be able to 
make quick preview in SPLAT or other tools - I was thinking about using
BAND=V,R,g  etc to select.

I remember some presentation of SVO - that only adding some keywoards in 
SSA would suffice - but then the general attention was switched towards 
the new SED model and SED business. But as it becomes to complicated to 
understand even to me ;-) I would like to see an use case on some light 
curves.

I am sure there are projects on-going. Please let me know

Best regards,

Petr
