That's a good summary of what we discussed last monday
My 2 additional cents. The use case I'm considering also come from 
recent discussions within ESCAPE about VO integration of gamma data.

When we consider a so called DL5 dataset (a gamma source spectrum, or a 
gamma ray map) we know that this has been produced by complex processing 
of event lists with the appropriate "Instrument Response function" (IRF).

In a DataLink context could we use #progenitor for both ?

I think not because the event list comes from the observation and will 
be specific to these DL5 datasets.

On the other side the IRF would be common to plenty of sources or  DL5 
datasets as far as I understand. So they require to be accessed differently.

A smart client would have to take these two "ancestors" of our DL5 
dataset in a very different way.

My suggestion for the IRF semantic term is to simply use a new term #irf

----------------------------------

About the "sorting out" issue of #progenitor, #calibration-applied and 
#irf for display purposes ...

Having different semantics terms for those different concepts would 
allow the client  to display them in different sections of the tool.

Descriptions (even if they are well filled) would never allow to 
separate automatically such things.

Descriptions should complete the semantics information to really 
describe the specificity of the considered link, not to type them.

Regards
François
