[IVOA /TCG Question] access to VODML documentation of IVOA data models

[Mireille LOUYS]

Hi all,

The IVOA DM WG has opted for the representation of IVOA data models in a 
templated format designed following the VODML specification.
Currently each RFC wiki page for a recent DM specification inserts in 
the page the link to the volute repository to either the xml VODML 
description, ( xml file) and/or  to the HTML doc (html file) or the 
repository containing both and all the output of the VODML design for 
this datamodel.

The specification is available at http://ivoa.net/Documents
The XML files are available at http://ivoa.net/xml in the VODML subtree  
but not easy to grasp for the new comer.
And the html documentation and vodml-id definitions defined in it are 
generally on a volute repository under the dm branch.
Unfortunately the volute link is not resolved to a readable html document.

How can we stabilise the access to these documentation files for the VO 
developers, the VO users, and the community at large ?

Here is an example for the VODML documentation file for the Provenance 
DM specification that we are currently proposing for uptake to some 
projects.

https://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/dm/provenance/ProvDM/vo-dml/Provenance.html

My browsers Safari and Chrome cannot recognise the mime-type properly 
and show the plain text instead.

To summarize:
- how can we fix this on volute ?
- how can we define a richer repository where all documents necessary 
for a Data model specification can be accessed when the specification is 
published and recommended ?

thanks for your help, comments and suggestions .
best wishes , Mireille.
