Doubts with the facility name term

[Tamara Civera]

Dear Semantics,

I am writing to this group, because trying to unify the facility name in 
the different VO services offered by my observatory (SIAP, Obscore,...) 
the following doubt has arisen: *Should the facility name describe only 
the facility or observatory, the telescope or both?*

According to the different VO protocols documentation:

Obscore: "B7.1 The Facility class codes information about the 
observatory or facility used to collect the data."

Obscore: "C.3 
<FIELDname="facility_name"datatype="char"ucd="meta.id;instr.tel"utype="obscore:Provenance.ObsConfig.Facility.name"xtype="adql:VARCHAR"arraysize="128*"><DESCRIPTION>telescope 
name</DESCRIPTION></FIELD>"

SIAP 2.0: "2.1.12 The FACILITY parameter is a string-valued parameter 
that specifies the name of the facility (usually telescope) where the 
data was acquired. The value is compared with the facility_name from the 
ObsCore [7] data model"

VoDataService: "3.1.1 The observatory or facility used to collect the 
data contained or managed by this resource."

I have also obtained a "facility_name" list from different Observatories 
Obscore services (attached) and in some, this field contains the 
observatory name, in other the telescope name,...

Thanks,

Tamara Civera
