[Radioig] Extensions and next step of Obscore

[BONNAREL FRANCOIS gmail]

During the obscore extension session (Wednesday third session, plenary) 
this question came by Marco ?

        relationship extensions with ObsCore. How do we deal with 
extensions attributes in ObsCore 1.2

My answer (after session) : I see this as a multistep thing.

  *   1 ) Radio extension and maybe others can be published as endorsed
    notes. They include a description  of how to discover the extension
    in regsitry and how to join that to Obscore. Take care than Common
    attributes should have same name and VOTAble attributes and definition

  * 2 ) ObsCore 1.2 in parallel should have a limited scope and can be
    developed fast

      * include IVOA product type vocabulary in dataproduct_type FIELD

      * move the discovery of Obscore in registry to the table/schema
        utype mode in tableset

      * adopt additions and all changes which make consensus

      * describe in a generic way how any kind of extension can be
        declared and joined to the ObsCore 1.2 root table

  * 3 ) Then take time to have ObsCOre 2.0

      * this step includes all possible attributes of Obscore mandatory
        / optional and all extensions (Radio, HE, Time),

      *   and then we organize this in profiles : full, root, radio, HE,
        Time and some combination of Time+HE and Time + Radio (Radio +HE
        doesn't make sense) and maybe others to come. Root Obscore is
        the common mandatory subset

      * some attributes may be part of several profiles (eg Radio and
        HE). They share the same definition in the different profiles

      * Optional attributes are those in full which are in  none of the
        other profiles

      * Vision of the full ObsCore as being potentially  "restricted" in
        several different profiles is more unified, but has actually the
        same content than root mandatory + extensions + optional.
        Profiles are restrictions of the full ObsCore

      * This concept of profile was first proposed by Gregory DF in
        Sydney (RIG session) and then again by JJ Kavelaars in an email
        last winter
