Image Data Model Effort

The Image Data Model, currently under development, will describe multdimensional image and image cube datasets and instances. It will serve as the basis for the description of Image datasets in archives and VO queries, as well as the basis for Image data access protocols such as SIAV2 and related access methods such as siav2.accessData.

Latest version of the draft:

• Image DM v1.0

Previous versions:

• none

Some related documents can be found here:

• DAL Image Access discussions and documents

In particular, the VAO Cube whitepaper contains relevant use cases and analysis addressing the problem of modeling and accessing multidimensional image data in the VO:

• VAO Cube whitepaper

This includes a section on the ImageDM, mainly addressing issues pertaining to the image cube use cases.
