MOC 2.0 Proposed Recommendation: Request for Comments

Summary

MOC 2.0 describes the Multi-Order Coverage map method (MOC) to specify arbitrary coverages for sky regions and/or time coverages and potentially other dimensions. The goal is to be able to provide a very fast comparison mechanism between coverages. The mechanism is based on a discretization of space and time dimensions. The system is based on the definition of a specific storage of the map coverage using predefined cells hierarchically grouped which makes it easy to produce and use for exploring astronomical collections.

Latest version of MOC 2.0 can be found at:

Changes since 1.1

MOC 1.1 dealt only with spatial coverage. MOC 2.0 supports specifying either spatial coverage, temporal coverage, or both coverages combined.
