SSA v1.1 Erratum 3: Correct XMLNS in examples

Author: James Dempsey

Date last changed: 2023-12-04

Rationale

SSAP used to require that people include a spurious XML prefix mapping for ssa (the idea was to use that to somehow introduce some sort of versioning). This was dropped in 1.1, but the examples in the appendix still include the namespace. This erratum removes the xmlns:ssa from the example output and corrects the votable namespace declaration in the VOTABLE start tags of these updated examples.

Erratum Content

This erratum makes the following changes:

In Appendix A, on page 56, in the example titled "Sample VOTable response for a Theory-SSAP queryData request" change the example output from:

<VOTABLE version="1.1" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/v1.1"
       xmlns:ssa="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/DalSsap/v1.0">

to

<VOTABLE version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/v1.1">

In Appendix B, on page 58, change the example response from:

<VOTABLE xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="xmlns:http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/VOTable-1.1.xsd"
 xmlns:ssa="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/DalSsap/v1.0" version="1.1">

to

<VOTABLE version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/v1.1">

In Appendix C, on page 61, change the example response from:

<VOTABLE xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="xmlns:http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/VOTable-1.1.xsd"
 xmlns:ssa="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/DalSsap/v1.0" version="1.1">

to

<VOTABLE version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/v1.1">

Impact Assessment

This change has no normative impact but simply corrects examples with incorrect content which could confuse implementors.
