Dear IVOA menbers,

The Registry working group invites the community and TCG to review the 
version 1.3 of VODataService (author: M.Demleitner) at:

https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VODataService13RFC

VODataService is a core component of the registry, it describes the XML 
serialization of Data Collection and services, with their respective 
characteristics (tables, coverages, etc.).

Version 1.3 mainly consists of the addition of extended elements: 
statistics for columns (section 3.5), resource characterization (the 
`dataSource` and `productTypeServed` elements, section 3.1.1), and 
improves relationships between tables and capabilities for resources 
containing multiple tables. This version also revises the use cases 
presented in the introduction (See the RFC page for further details).

We would appreciate your time reading and commenting this document,
which is an important standard for enabling the discovery of VO resources.

Thanks,
Gilles Landais, Theresa Dower  (Registry chair and vice-chair)
