VOEvent Update

[Pierre Le Sidaner]

Dear All

I have been to a VOEvent workshop dedicated to hight energy astronomy on 
the frame of Asterics program. There was a lot of interesting 
presentation on large use of event, right now and also in the near 
future. Dave was there and he will make a report on it.
This mean that we should move carefully the schema of Event. On the 
other hand, in planetary science we point out that the wherewhen part 
could not allow description of planetary objects and even may be a 
problem for satellite position and time description. Even spherical 
coordinate could be a problem as all coordinate share the same unit.

We want to propose a possible evolution of VOEvent schema to 2.1 that 
will keep all actual VOEvent 2.0 valid and give more possibility for 
larger description on Wherewhen
If there is  15 mn free in the VOEvent session I would like to present that

Regards
Pierre
