< | The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002
I've just noticed this is not legal - the value attribute
(optional at VOTable 1.0 but mandatory since VOTable 1.1)
is missing. It should read:
<INFO name="HISTORY"
value="The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002"/> | email | In next 1.4 draft | 2019-03-22 | |

| DataLink recommends using a "content" parameter. Consider mentioning it in sec. 8 (MIME types) to avoid other standards reinventing the same thing with a different name. |

Defer to 1.5. There are no responses yet. If consensus is reached that this is a simple change, then it could be in 1.4. |
2019-03-17 |
| Add optional "origin" or "refposition" attribute to COOSYS |
email |
Defer to 1.5. This change has support, but the details are not yet resolved, so may delay 1.4. |
2019-03-17 |
| Remove mention of UType in section 1.4, as it is lacking a standard. |
email |
Defer to 1.5. |
2019-03-17 |
| Sec. 4.6: Remove paragraph "In order to avoid name collisions..." |

</INFO>
This is not legal - the value attribute
(optional at VOTable 1.0 but mandatory since VOTable 1.1)
is missing. It should read:
<INFO name="HISTORY"
value="The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002"/> Also, the INFO needs to be moved to the top of the RESOURCE as required by the VOTable schema. |

Between WD-VOTable-1.4.20190131 and WD-VOTable-1.4.20190218:
| Description |
Source |
volute Revision(s) |
| Section 3.5: reword the sentence: The TIMESYS element defines such a time system and gives itself the identifies itself with ID="time frame". to In the example, the TIMESYS element describes that time system. The TIMESYS ID value just needs to be unique within the document so that it can be referenced by FIELDs or PARAMs. |
|
5316 |
| In the section 3.5 TIMESYS example, remove the ID values from the FIELDs since they are not used. |
|
5317 |
| Section 3 reworked to clarify namespace and schema versioning. |
|
5319, 5315 |
| Replace the claimed REC status of the document with the appropriate Working Draft disclaimer from the Document Standards appendix. |
|
5318 |
| In sections 4.3 and 4.4, add references to DALI and VOUnits respectively since those standards came about since the writing of VOTable 1.3. Also mention those resources in section 1.4. |
