Hi Markus , Hi all,

Thanks for uploading this requirement on the RFMforUCD page.

I did not succeed in visualising the table example you mentionned . I 
there a special way to find it  via taphandle , and or topcat?

for the choice of the ucd label, I vote for "stat.histogram" , but I 
suppose it makes sense to bind it to the measure it has been collecting .

if we would allow it to be Q status , then we can cover various cases :

  * /stat.histogram/  as a suffix is needed when you do need to state
    the histogram of what you are describing. For instance
      o /stat.error;stat.histogram/  would mean the stat histogram of
        position error , for instance
      o /mag;stat.histogram for the histog of magnitudes on one region
        for instance
        /
      o /....
        /

Do we have cases  where several measures / columns are described with a 
histogram computation for each  in the same table?

We can discuss this on this list , and I would also be happy to discuss 
this with examples at the next Interop .

thanks , Mireille
