An update on this
topic.<br>
</div>
Earlier this month, a
group of us got
together in Baltimore
for a focus meeting on
some vo-dml and
mapping topics.<br>
</div>
Gerard will be posting
the notes from this
meeting on the vo-dml
twiki page.<br>
<br>
</div>
On this topic, we reviewed
the issue and concerns
about whether or not a
'label' should be added <br>
</div>
to the vo-dml EnumLiteral
definition since the 'name'
is required to conform to
the vo-dml name pattern.<br>
</div>
We also mapped out how this
would be used in practice.<br>
<br>
</div>
In the discussion, it was
clarified that the user would
add annotations mapping their
local literal strings (label)<br>
</div>
to the vo-dml EnumLiteral. If the
user happens to be using the
string matching the EnumLiteral
name, then<br>
</div>
the necessary annotation is
simplified, since there is no need
to define the mapping. In this way,
a data <br>
</div>
product can retain the 'native' values
(and retain compatibility with local
software) AND be properly mapped<br>
</div>
to the vo modeled element to be
compatible with VO software.<br>
<br>
</div>
Validators would be able to interpret the
annotation when vetting an instance.<br>
<br>
</div>
I am satisfied with this, and am content to
let the EnumLiteral definition in the vo-dml
specification stay as it is.<br>

This sounds reasonable, I am satisfied too, thinking to future DAL
reuse of DatasetMetadata. A question below, just to better
understand what's going on<br>

<div>Actions:<br>
</div>
+ MCD - modify the DatasetMetadata UML/model
to define compliant enumeration literal names.<br>
</div>
NOTE: the document may define a
'label' for the literals, which would allow
continuity with<br>
</div>
existing/previous model
definitions, but this is not to be considered under
the <br>
</div>
vo-dml scope.<br>
</div>
NOTE: it is also to be reviewed whether
these are better represented as Enumeration-s or as
SemanticConcept-s<br>
</div>
{I'll be starting a Dataset thread about
this.}<br>
<br>
</div>
+ GL - review and enhance the Mapping document description
of Enumeration option tagging (pg 23). <br>
</div>

I think you mean page 32 ? (IVOA Working draft 2015 10 10)<br>

<div>
<div> It is not clear that the <br>
</div>
value being annotated is the user string, and that
this provides a bridge between the user serialization and the
vo-dml/model specification.<br>
</div>
</div>

Actually ther wil be a modification in the VODM-XML xsd by adding a
label element inside <enumeration> ??? Is that what we have to
understand ?<br>
<br>
