Photometry Data Model 1.1 Proposed Recommendation: Request for Comments

PHOTDM v1.1 is a revision of 'PhotDM v1.0', redesigned to follow the rules and constraints set by the VODML meta-model definition. The goals are warrant backward compatibility as much as possible. keep the same concepts as in version PhotDMv1-1 v1.0 provide the PhotDMv1-1.vo-dml.xml description of all classes in VODML format all relations between classes and attributed are kept as much as possible. for backward compatibility, Utypes previously defined the previous REC Phot DM 1.0 document and listed in appendix B should not be changed after this update. The benefit is to keep interoperability with the SVO Filterprofile service which has grown to a full Filter repository and represents a kind of Filter registry for the Multi-wavelength community. The new VODML representation allows building photometric annotations for various kinds of data products: catalogs, spectra, lightcurves, cubes, etc.
