Version 0.02 Implementation of an XML Schema describing a resource to be used in the Virtual Observatory Project. Based on "Resource and Service Metadata for the Virtual Observatory", Version 6, February 2002 by Bob Hanisch et al. This is a base type for defining specific kinds of resources (e.g. service, data collection, etc.). See Resource for a generic definition of a resource. The resource indicated by this element is the one referred to by the given URI. This attribute should be ignored unless the element's content is empty. The URI for another resource that is responsible for maintaining this resource. Member of an itemized list Begin date in decimal years End date in decimal years (optional) the catagory of service that this service belongs to The standard VO Simple Image Access Protocol Interface The standard VO Cone Search Interface A form interface that is intended to be used interactively only via a Web Browser An HTTP service accessible via a HTTP GET query following a well-defined syntax. A generic Web Service described by a WSDL document If provided, then any data not provided by the content of this element should default to the corresponding data found in the resource description pointed to by the given URI. The URI should, therefore, refer to a Resource Description. This URI is expected to be resolved by a VO registry. Example: if a Curation element uses this attribute, the default values for the curation data should be drawn from the Curation element of the referred Resource description. A description of one or more VO Resources This element is used as a general container for multiple resource descriptions and is intended to be used as a root element. Any entity that is curated by an organization and is identifiable by a URI Information regarding the general curation of the resource This will often be set to the URI given in the Resource's "managedBy" attribute. Name Given to the Resource Entity responsible for making the resource available Block describing the entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource Name of Entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource URL pointing to a graphical logo, which may be used to help identify the information source List of topics, object types, or other descriptive keywords about the resource An account of the content of the resource Entity responsible for contributions to the content of the resource Date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource (YYYY-MM-DD) Label associated with creation or availablilty Unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context URL pointing to further information about the resource URL pointing to further information about the service Block describing contact persons responsible for the resource Name of contact persons responsible for the resource E-mail address for contacting the persons responsible for the resource Nature or genre of the content of the resource Extent of the scope of the content of the resource Sky coverage of the resource Spectral coverage of the resource Specific Spectral Coverage Description Specific Bandpass Coverage Specification Temporal coverage of the resource. Separate begin and end dates in decimal years (YYYY.DD) Description of the content level, or intended audience Observatory or facility where the data was obtained Instrument used to collect the data Encoding format of data provided by the resource Information about rights held in and over the resource A group or person that manages data or services for VO applications An organization with a focused set of data and services that it maintains. A resource that provides an interface for executing some operation or retrieving data. A resource that provides an interface for executing some operation or retrieving data.
