Server-side Operations for Data Access version 1.0 Proposed Erratum 2: Wrong VOTable syntax in polarization exampleAuthor: François Bonnarel Date last changed: 2023-01-20 Date accepted:RationaleIn section 4.2, the VOTable excerpt given for the POL PARAM is written following a wrong syntax for the OPTION element. The value of this element is coded as a content of the element instead of as a value of the "value" attribute of the element. In addition the closing tag of the VALUES element is wrongly written</VALUE>instead of </VALUES>This bug orignally described on github in SODA issue #1 (https://github.com/ivoa-std/SODA/issues/1) Erratum ContentThis Erratum proposes following changes.Fix VOTable syntaxIn §4.2 "*SODA Service Descriptor from DataLink*" of SODA-1.0, update the Polarization example OPTION tags in<PARAM name="POL" ucd="meta.code;phys.polarization" datatype="char" arraysize="*" value=""> <DESCRIPTION>Polarization states to be extracted.</DESCRIPTION> <VALUES> <OPTION>I</OPTION> <OPTION>V</OPTION> </VALUE> </PARAM>from <OPTION>I</OPTION>to | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | <OPTION value=I"/> | |||||||
> > | <OPTION value="I"/> | |||||||
from
<OPTION>V</OPTION>to | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | <OPTION value=V"/> | |||||||
> > | <OPTION value="V"/> | |||||||
from
</VALUE>to </VALUES> Impact AssessmentFixing the VOTable syntax in an example will make no harm to any service and will avoid implementers writng code delivering incorrect VOTables.<--
