Resource MetadataLast updated: 19 June 2007 - RayPlanteContents
Standard SpecificationsThe standards for metadata used to describe resources in the VO come in two forms: prose documents that define the metadata concepts and XML Schemas used to encode them.Metadata Definition DocumentsResource Metadata (RM)
XML SchemasVOResource
| ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | VOResource in general refers to a set of XML Schemas that includes a core schema (VOResource-v__X.X__.xsd) based on the RM Recommendation and a set of standard extension schemas that define particular types of resources. | |||||||
> > | VOResource in general refers to a set of XML Schemas that includes a core schema (VOResource-vX.X.xsd) based on the RM Recommendation and a set of standard extension schemas that define particular types of resources. | |||||||
These schemas are intended for use by VO XML-based applications. In particular, these schemas are used for supporting interoperable communication with resource registries.

Changed: | ||||||||
< < | VOStandard | |||||||
> > | StandardsRegExt (VOStandard) | |||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | A working draft of a document defining the extension schemas for describing standards (including the ability to define IVORN-identifiable properties) is under development at VOStandard. | |||||||
> > | Formerly known as VOStandard, StandardsRegExt defines the extension schema for describing standards (along with concepts in those standards) so that they can be referred to via an IVOA identifier. See StandardsRegExt for the latest information about this document and schema. | |||||||
Simple Services (SCS, SIA, SSA) | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | A working draft of a document defining the extension schemas for describing SIA (schema), SSA (schema), and ConeSearch (schema) is under development at RegSimpleDAL. | |||||||
> > | Formerly known as RegSimpleDAL, SimpleDALRegExt defines extension schemas for describing SIA (schema), SSA (schema), and ConeSearch (schema). This document is under development at SimpleDALRegExt. | |||||||
VOApplication | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | A working draft of a document defining the extension schemas for describing applications is under development at RegDMApplications. | |||||||
> > | VOApplication is a registry extension schema that allows one to register applications, tools, and libraries. A working draft of a document defining the extension schemas for describing applications is under development at RegDMApplications. | |||||||
Added: | ||||||||
> > | At the Fall 2009 Interop, the Registry Working Group agreed to table the development of this schema until a stronger driver emerges. Contributions and comments are still welcome; we are particularly interested in use cases that need the ability to dynamically discover applications. | |||||||
Other Extensions in Development | ||||||||
Added: | ||||||||
> > | Additional extensions are expected to be driven by other Working Groups as part of the development of new protocols. At the moment, extensions are in development for the following protocols:

Creating Registry Extensions | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | The VOResource has been designed to allow new metadata to be defined as an extension on the core. The VOResource specification recommends how to create extension schemas. Additional information about extending the VOResource schema, consult the VOResource page. | |||||||
