Dear Semantics & DAL members,<br>
<br>
I have a proposal here for the revision of the UCD terms in the SSA
specification.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://ivoa.net/documents/SSA/20120210/">https://ivoa.net/documents/SSA/20120210/</a><br>
<br>
Currently<br>
<i>instr.fov </i>and <i>meta.curation </i> are two terms in the
spec which: <br>
- are misused with respect to the meaning of the element they
described : <i>instr.fov</i><br>
- or are not<i> </i>compliant with UCD Rules : meta.curation is
defined as primary term in UCDList1.4 and used also as secondary
term . <br>
<i> <br>
<br>
this mail will discuss the first term :<br>
<b>instr.fov :</b><br>
</i>The proposed changes for the invalid UCDs in SSAP are the
following<i>, </i><i><br>

Rationale : <br>
<i>instr.fov</i> represents a geometrical shape on the sky, where an
instrument is observing a signal.<br>
<br>
Currently in SSA 1.1, only <i>instr.fov</i> is used to describe
the Aperture details. <br>
This does not allow to distinguish between the various properties
describing this field of view.<br>
'Aperture angular size' is better classified as <font size="+3"><span
style="font-size: 8.0pt;font-family:"Arial
Narrow",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New
Roman"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">phys.angSize;
instr.fov</span></font> in the UCD vocabulary.<br>
<br>
Aperture region, which represents the geometry and points that
delimits the FoV corresponds to <i>pos.outline;instr.fov.<br>
pos.outline </i>was introduced later than the SSA specification,
but applies fully here. <i> <br>
<br>
</i>Field of view area, the area in sq. degrees is also a dimension
of the <i>instr.fov</i> , and not the FoV itself.<br>
<i>phys.angArea;instr.fov </i>can do for this case.<br>
<br>
UCDList EN-1.4 defines <i>instr.fov</i> as <br>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(201, 209, 217); color: rgb(201, 209, 217); font-family: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, "SF Mono", Menlo, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(13, 17, 23); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">S | instr.fov | Field of view</span><br>
<br>
This definition is fuzzy, and can be clarified and replaced by <br>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(201, 209, 217); color: rgb(201, 209, 217); font-family: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, "SF Mono", Menlo, Consolas, "Liberation Mono", monospace; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(13, 17, 23); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">S | instr.fov | Related to Field of view
</span><br>
for the next UCDList update UCDList1.5.<br>
<br>
Proposed Action : change definition of instr.fov to Related to field
ov view . <br>
<br>
<br>
I expect this to be a first draft to start to write a SSA errata ,
as proposed by Markus earlier. <br>
<br>
Any opinion, comments , improvenents you would like to propose? <br>
<br>
Many thanks , <br>

<br>
While it may be a nice service to complete UCD assignment in a
future<br>
version of SSAP, I think for the present purpose (remove<br>
contradictions between different IVOA specs), we should restrict<br>
ourselves to the UCDs that actually conflict between SSAP and UCD
and<br>
fix those. That's urgent in my book. Anything else may be nice to<br>
have in order to make SSAP responses more palatable to generic<br>
clients. But that, I claim, is a rather exotic use case, and
anyway<br>
it doesn't seem particularly urgent.<br>
<br>
If you're sure you don't want to adapt UCD to SSAP usage, then it<br>
seems the only way forward is to write an Erratum for SSAP, and
that<br>
necessarily needs to be restricted to the columns with the invalid<br>
UCDs.<br>
<br>
Who'll write this? Should I?<br>
