    Hi Mark , <br>
    Yes it was a work in progress at the time of Obscore1.1 publishing
    and has not been finalized as a note . <br>
    Implementation feedback is needed.<br>
    <br>
    The point is that we have focused much of our VO efforts in building
    metadata for VOTable format and less on the crosswalk tasks<br>
    between various FITS metadata encoding and TAP. <br>
     <br>
    Thanks, Mireille<br>

            Hi Igor, <br>
            Hi DMers ,<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            In the revision of Obscore 1.1 , I did provide a mapping for
            ObsCore attributes to FITS keywords for the Binospec project
            . <br>
            That was a request from Igor Chilingarian to map the data
            produced to ObsCore seemlessly. <br>
            <br>
            I don't know today what has been used in the archive , but
            Igor may help to correct and give feedback.<br>
            <br>
            Here attached is the first mapping table proposed . <br>
            The Time extension for ObsCore is not covered yet  in this
            table.<br>
            <br>
            Eager to help for this , <br>

                                          <div>The ObsCore standard (and

                                            information around in
                                            VOTables annotated with

                                            corresponding FITS keywords.</div>
                                          <div><br>
                                          </div>
                                          <div>There are very few models
                                            targeting Data Products, and
                                            even there, I think only
                                            Spectrum includes FITS
                                            serialization specs.  In
                                            general, the data models
                                            should be independent of
                                            serialization standards, and
                                            that is the direction we

                                          </div>
                                          <div>It sounds like what you
                                            are looking for is a mapping
                                            from the ObsCore (and
                                            extension) UTypes to a VO
                                            recommended FITS keyword..
                                            which I don't believe exists
                                            other than what is defined
                                            in Spectrum.  Or perhaps
                                            preferably a FITS
                                            serialization standard which
                                            maps model concepts to FITS
                                            key/column specs... which
                                            certainly doesn't exist in
                                            the VO.</div>
                                          <div><br>
                                          </div>
                                          <div>I think the idea has
                                            been:</div>
                                          <div>  * Everybody uses
                                            different FITS keywords to
                                            serialize their data</div>
                                          <div>  * We need to
                                            standardize something for
                                            Data Discovery that doesn't
                                            force everyone to recast
                                            their FITS files</div>
                                          <div>  * So we'll communicate
                                            in VOTable and tag the
                                            concepts with UTypes</div>
                                          <div>      + data providers
                                            can then map their
