VOSI-1.1 Erratum 2 - Example corrections

Author: Patrick Dowler
Date:2019-04-12

The following Erratum amends the VOSI-1.1 recommendation.

Rationale

In VOSI 1.1 (ref), some of the VOSITables examples have incorrect xsi:type (vs:TAP should be vs:TAPType) and extraneous spaces that should not be there. This erratum is to fix those bugs in the examples.

Note: Although vs:TAPType may be deprecated and/or removed in future in favour of using vs:VOTableType, this erratum does not change the examples

Change of standards text

* Section 5.2: Change vs:TAP to vs:TAPType and remove extraneous spaces before closing elements; removed the single TAP_SCHEMA table from the example because it was in the same element (confusing and not relevant to showing what max detail means); added a comment to the example that possible additional schema was omitted in case someone compares this example with the min detail example below

* Section 5.3: remove extraneous spaces before closing elements

The new example for section 5.2 is:

      </column>
    </table>
  </schema>
  
  <!-- additonal schema element in minimum detail example omitted for brevity -->
