who is actively developing with VOResource?

[Ray Plante]

Hi folks,

I'd like to hear who is involved in using the VOResource metadata and how 
things are going.  I've been in intense communication with people here in 
the NVO project, but I haven't heard too much from abroad.  Could some 
non-NVO people post a few words?

As my previous message indicated, issues are coming up that we will need 
to deal with, and it would be good to hear about who is dealing with them 
and how.

There are various issues that have come up in the NVO experience so far:
  *  The Coverage mark-up is a temporary stand-in, and it hasn't been well 
     reviewed and exercised.  Is it sufficient?
       o  there was a suggestion that we alter it to allow 
          multiple, alternative spatial coverage descriptions where one in 
          the ICRS frame would be required.
  *  There remains a problem in VODataService-v0.4 with the use of a fixed 
     attribute.  
  *  There was a suggestion that there could be an easier/better way to 
     identify specific kinds of services (e.g. SIA) than with 
     the StandardID element.  

thanks,
Ray
