applications software metadata

[Robert Hanisch]

Hi Tony.  The consensus at the Interop last fall was that this should incorporated into RM as V1.2 (see http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/InterOpOct2005ResReg).  However, latter discussions led to the idea of keeping it separate.  Keeping it separate is probably better since we then can leave RM alone.

I repeated the elements of RM that pertain to applications, again, following the discussion from the fall Interop.  The idea was to show that some generic RM metadata pertain and others do not.  I imagine this will get codified properly in the schema, but like RM, this document is supposed to show the concepts and not necessarily the detailed implementation.

BTW, we still need to bring RM V1.1 through the promotion process.  I sent around an informal request for comments and heard no objections.

cheers,
Bob

  Hi Bob. Thanks for that contribution - it looks useful. 

  Since the 'tiger team' is working on the registry model and incorporating applications metadata into that, can you flag this document as a Note within the document structure rather than a WD. Hopefully we will have a draft data model incorporating apps metadata within the next few weeks. If we decide then that we need a separate description of this metadata from the schema extensions then we'll start work on such a WD, taking the Note and the schema extensions as the starting point.

  On the document: why do you repeat all the Resource metadata? A registered application will be a Resource and so will include resource metadata as a minimum, no?

  Thanks,
  Tony.

    Here is a V0.1 draft of applications software metadata.  I have some more work to do (like putting in an example) but I thought I'd get this out for comments.

    Cheers,
