How do we cite creators of content (ie: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">data)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;"> vs services (ie, very often: a metadata table)? Can there be 2 different roles? - this is a recurring request from our providers, and a sensitive one.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">Example: I'm maintaining an EPN-TAP service identifying planetary data from the HST catalog. Creating the metadata table is a significant work which deserves identification and involves a responsibility; but I can't pretend I've created the data. How do I call my role there?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">VESPA distinguishes 3 roles, following current practices: </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">Creator, Contributor, Publisher</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;"><div>But there is an obvious ambiguity with Creator that needs to be addressed.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Stéphane</div></span></div></body></html>
