*Note*: This is a proposal by MarkusDemleitner for how to manage vocabulary evolution in the IVOA at this point. ---++ Current VEPs * [[%ATTACHURL%/vep001.txt][vep001.txt]] (for datalink) (please attach your VEP and put the link into this enumeration) ---++ Accepted VEPs (None so far) ---++ Vocabulary Enhancement Requests (VEPs) We propose to manage vocabulary evolution in the IVOA through Vocabulary Enhancement Requests. These are small, version controllable, plain text files; the current version of a VEP is maintained on this page, currently in an attachment. A VEP is semistructured; in a header, it should first give the vocabulary URL and a contact address for the author, as in <pre>Vocabulary: http://www.ivoa.net/rdf/datalink/core Author: msdemlei@ari.uni-heidelberg.de </pre> This is followed by one or more blocks. These can be proposals for new terms, given with a human-readable label, a description, and a rationale for the addition. For instance: <pre>New Term: isMetadataFor (child of auxiliary) Label: Metadata Description: additional documentation for this dataset (e.g., observatory logs, provenance information) Rationale: This would annotate material such as observation logs, scanned envelopes of plates, or possibly logs of pipeline runs. The term is a bit different from other datalink terms, but it is taken from the DataCite relationships, and I feel re-using these terms whenever possible makes it easier to re-use datalink annotations later. </pre> Alternatively, changes to an existing term can be proposed, including changing its parent: <pre>Changed term: proc Label: Processing Description: reference to a server-side processing service Rationale: The old description ("server-side data processing result") just doesn't quite match what this is. </pre> No process for the deletion of terms is proposed at this point. A VEP may be replaced during discussions. <br /> <!-- * Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = IVOA.TWikiAdminGroup -->
