SSLDM RFC Discussion

Review period: 2009 July 21 – 2009 September 15 (Extended!)

July 20, 2009 Page created to encapsulate the discussion of the Simple Spectrum Line DM RFC process.

See http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/SSLDM/20090714/

SSLDM Use Case:

The main use of the SSLDM is to provide data model support to the Simple Line Access Protocol, so to allow the comsuption of Spectral Line List databases using a common/standard interface.

Question translated from SLAP RFC pages:

(4) Page 16 (SLAP document), expression of the quantum states; it is unclear to me how this document is going to express the quantum states for the inversion lines (e.g., NH3) or molecules with internal rotation (e.g., CH3OH, (CH3)2O).

TCG Review: Working and Interest Groups

Note that the space for RFC comments from the working groups was intended to spur early review of the document. A formal approval is still requested from each of the WG and IG heads.
