applications software metadata

[Tony Linde]

Thanks, Bob. I agree with all that but I think the group needs to propose a
new standard before we can work on a WD so would still prefer this document
to be held as a Note for now. We've not created new metadata documents for
any of the other resource extensions so need to decide if Application
requires it. But in terms of clarifying the metadata we require, I'm all for
it.
 
On that, I still do not think that any of the metadata from Resource is
redundant to Application. I think you only dropped Relation but I'd leave
that in: the relationship types we've codified for resources like Mirror may
not apply but I'm sure we'll come up with others (like 'Depends on' to show
that an Application requires a Library to work).
 
<<RM V1.1>>
 
Yes, sorry - I know it is down to me. Will get it sorted this week.
 
Cheers,
Tony.

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,
Bob
