    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Alberto,</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">    For sure it's possible to have the
      parameters of Greisen et al in an extension.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">    But I'm still wondering how useful
      and handy it is.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">     Again, definitely I see the
      interest of delivering these metadata (which are actually fitw wcs
      metadata) at the SODA level in order to create a velocity cutout 
      query.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">      But I'm still filling chilly for
      data discovery.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       Let's look at a couple of
      examples</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       select * from
      obscore-with-vel-extension where dataproduct_type= cube and  v_min
      = 800  and v_max= 1200 and em_unit = km/s and em_ucd = vel <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">        then you get for example <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">                  optical cubes with h
      alpha line redshifted by  ~1.7 to ~2.6 nm</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">                  and radio cubes with
      21 cm line redshifted by ~0.55 to ~0.8 mm</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">                  and probably many
      others</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       So, will you say, we have to
      give the reference line to get  h alpha redshifted line ONLY <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">  <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       select * from
      obscore-with-vel-extension where dataproduct_type= cube and v_min
      = 800  and v_max= 1200 and em_unit = km/s and em_ucd = vel and
      em_ref = 656.3 10**-9 <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">        But then what you get is
      something which may contain the redshifted halpha line but maybe
      also nothing about halpha (because the velocity axis is not a
      guarantee for redshifted line to be there in the dataset)  but
      instead the NII line at 658.4.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">        Or even worse = (highly)
      redshifhted halpha and (nearly) non redshifted NII !!! (and there
      we are close to the 4D use case)<br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">        So I find this misleading and I
      think we can find also the same kind of mess in the radio domain
      (imagine very high z pushing 21 cm in low frequency radio or mm
      lines in the metric domain for example )</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       So if you want velocity cubes in
      the halpha redshift rang eas above just query</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">          select * from
      obscore-with-vel-extension where dataproduct_type= cube and em_min
      = 658.0 10**-9 and em_max = 658.9 10**-9 and em_unit = km/s and
      em_ucd = vel and em_ref = 656.3 10**-9<br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">      This will be exactly the same
      results with the same limitations (Halpha redshift and there or
      not and NII there or not) but at least less confusion. And you
      will exclude all cubes which are not organized with velocity axes
      anyway.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       I still wonder if the em_unit is
      needed there, because it is supposed to describe the unit used in
      the dataset and I don't think if you look for velocity cubes you
      want to select those in m/s from those in km/s. I think what you
      need is to know what is the unit.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">   <br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">       My conclusion adding em_ref for
      the reference line an a couple of new values for em_ucd should be
      enough for ObsCore extension and all the other things for SODA.<br>

          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">      The conclusion at that time was
              that we didn't have to extend ObsCore this way eventually.<o:p></o:p></p>
          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">      For several reasons.<o:p></o:p></p>
          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">       - radial velocity or redshifts 
              derivation from spectral frequencies or wl are complex
              things. querying between vel = 10 km/s and 60 km/s may
              give different results according to the radial velocity
              (or dopplershift) flavor. And if we add the constraint
              em_ucd =  vrad (or vopt, or ) then the query become really
              specialised.<o:p></o:p></p>
          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">      - if the velocity cube is simply
              a transform of the frequency/wavelength axis  we still
              have to select on wavelength because velocity cubes in
              radio domain and velocity cube in optical domain are
              really different things<o:p></o:p></p>
          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">        -  But generally speaking the
              velocity axis is not ONLY a transform of the wavelength
              (or frequency) axis, it provides different information. It
              is a different axis (although related). As Arnold pointed
              at that time you have datasets where you provide different
              doppler shift information at different spectral
              coordinates. What are the radial velocity bounds in that
              case ?<o:p></o:p></p>
          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">        ---> ObsCore will become
              really complex to manage and fill in these situations<o:p></o:p></p>

          </div>
          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">            - data  discovery (With
              ObsTAP/ SIA) = it's probably enough to let the user know
              that you have velocity cubes by providing the appropriate
              values in em_ucd and em_unit (which are there to describe
              the dataset content and not the spectral
              characterization). We may think to add em_ref to give the
              wl of the reference   line. velocity limits will have to
              be transformed in wavelength to fill the mandatory
              em_min/max anyway. With this you already know that the
              data you discover by a standard ObsCore (or radio
              extension) query are "'velocity cubes"<o:p></o:p></p>

          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">             - SODA cutouts : there ,
              the parameters you propose are useful. A discussion
              started already some time ago to extend SODA . For example
              adding pixel cutouts, or changing the projection or the
              spatial sampling of the cutout. In this context we could
              also choose to extract by forcing velocity constraints,
              when appropro$iate.

          <div>
            <p class="MsoNormal">               To do that we need
              additional metadata (eg : the content of WCS,  and this
              also for the spectral axis). And for that, there is the
              old idea to have a SODA mode providing full metadata, CADC
              already implemented something like that. The velocity
              '"axis" detailed flavor can be described this way if it
              exists. This also has to be integrated in the SODA-next
              discussion. Some more on this will come soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
