Resource Metadata V1.1 draft

[Gretchen Greene]

Bob,

Did you post this yet?  I couldn't find it in the ivoa site.  

For documentation on the registry resource metadata,  I currently
reference the descriptions in the previous recommended RM doc although I
plan to include some 'examples'.  

For an 'identifier':

In the RM doc, there is a reference to the document repository which a
person would have to search through to find the document which defines
what an identifier is.  I assume this is because it is still a proposed
standard?  Since a strong base for exchanging resources depends on the
correctness of this meta term,  it would be helpful to make this
clearer.  Not sure how best to do this.

Subject: Resource Metadata V1.1 draft


Attached please find Word (with change tracking) and PDF versions of a
draft revision to the Resource Metadata document.  The revisions are of
sufficient magnitude that I believe this requires a step back to Working
Draft.  It is also an opportunity to insert or clarify other metadata
elements.  The changes I suggest here come largely from the NVO
experience in registry metadata curation.  Also, I have tried to be
consistent with the Space-Time Coordinates definitions, and to this end
thank Arnold Rots for several very helpful e-mail and phone discussions.

I will post these on the IVOA site next week after tidying up a few
formatting glitches.

Cheers,
Bob
