[Heig] Fwd: Thematic meeting: ObsCore and extensions

Hi Folks,

I seeded the meeting page today for our meeting on Obscore.
You’ll find a link on the HEIG page (https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/HEGroup) under Meeting -or- you can go to the link directly. 

https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/HEIG_25Feb11

As Bruno said, the plan is for a thematic meeting on Obscore.  Please review the input Ian provided from his Xray experience and think about your waveband.  Do we have it covered or is there more to add?? 

If you have *notes or a table* to discuss at the meeting, you can attach the file to the meeting page and add a link -or- send it to me and I’ll do it for you.

Looking forward to a productive meeting — Tuesday, February 11 @14:00 UTC.

Thank you,
- janet & bruno

>>>>> 
>>>>> ** core **
>>>>> s_resolution_min
>>>>> s_resolution_max
>>>>> s_fov_min
>>>>> s_fov_max: I still feel the existing s_fov is already the same as
>>>>> s_fov_max and not a representative value; it is nominally the size of
>>>>> the s_region
>>>>> t_exp_min
>>>>> t_exp_max
>>>>> t_exp_mean: In CAOM exposure is already the mean exposure time per
>>>>> pixel and I feel strongly that the existing ObsCore.t_exptime is
>>>>> already the same thing (well, it suggests "median exposure time per
>>>>> pixel" which I think I may have contributed, but median breaks down in
>>>>> some common nearly degenerate cases and is less useful than mean; we
>>>>> may need to clarify the definition in ObsCore
>>>>> f_resolution: absolute spectral resolution is useful, but this should
>>>>> be named em_resolution
>>>>> 
>>>>> ** radio extension **
>>>>> s_maxiumum_angular_scale - I have been convinced by radio people that
>>>>> maximum_recoverable_scale is more explicit and a better term for this
>>>>> uv_distance_min
>>>>> uv_distance_max
>>>>> uv_distribution_ecc
>>>>> uv_distribution_fill
>>>>> 
>>>>> Questions:
>>>>> 1. How does this impact the time extension?
>>>>> 2. How does this impact the high energy extension?
>>>>> 
>>>>> Work:
>>>>> 1. ObsCore needs to be ported to ivoatex (from docx?) and included in ivoa-std
>>>>> 2. I can set aside time necessary to write the the changes for WD-ObsCore-1.2
