UCD list update

Procedure to ask for extension and /or modification of the UCD list

The procedure complies with the following basic principles:

  • Any member of the IVOA community can submit at any time a request for modification (RFM) of the controlled list of UCD words;
  • A globally editable page is the interface between the community and the Scientific Board in charge of discussing the RFM;
  • The author of a RFM should get an answer within 6 weeks;
  • At regular intervals (synchronized with IVOA Interoperability meetings) the approved modifications are integrated in a new version of the IVOA UCD1+ Common Vocabulary.
Current page for request for modification:

Current work

2018- March Publishing and disseminating the IVOA defined vocabularies

VocabularyTestPage is a page proposed for a centralised page where all vocabularies defined in the VO could be published and downloaded.

This page is submitted for approval to the exec commitee, with a short charter discussed at last IVOA semantics sessions and on the semantics mailing list .

2018- February / New UCD List v 1.3

Elaboration of new UCD keywords for planetary metadata and radio data. This effort is described on the discussion page PlanetaryUCD .

This has generated a loop for revision for the UCD list of terms , now in the final step of Recommendation.

See http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/UCDList2017RFC for the request for comments for http://www.ivoa.net/documents/UCD1+/20170831/index.html.

Units specification in the IVOA

VOUnits: This specifies how to express unit strings in VO documents, APis, protocols and interfaces.

  • The VOUnits document is now an IVOA REC. The VOUnitsRFC and DiscussionOnVOUnits pages still exist, but should not now be added to.
  • There are no immediate plans for further work on the standard, however there is a small collection of issues and suggestions at VOUnitsNext
