SDM Running Meeting 14/06/2022

Meeting Outcomes

• In order to be able to map NED SEDs or Spitzer spectra on the spectrum data model, it is necessary to add the support of lower/upper limits as well as spectral orders.
• The current SDM has been published in 2011 with document standards of that time.
  • We have no resource to upgrade it totally
• Some others requirements have been proposed but we have decided not the tackle with them since they have no impact on the current operations.
• It has been decided to move toward SDM1.2
  • Minimise model changes
  • Not to VODml-ze it
• Upper/Lower limits:
  • add 2 attributes to the Accuray class
• spectral order
  • Add 2 attributes the SpectralAxis class
  • Absolute order / relative order
  • The purpose of these 2 orders must be clarified
• As the changes are small, we can expect a smooth RFC
  • We need at least 2 reference implementations
  • We need one validator
  • We need the document to be updated
    • use-case
    • field description
    • diagrams
  • A list of actions has been setup (see below)
