VODataServiceNext < IVOA

This page collects specification issues as well as proposals for extensions for VODataService 1.1. No new version of the document is scheduled right now.

---+ Specification Problems

   * In current VODataService tableset, table structure is implied to be schema.table; ADQL table references, on the other hand, have one to three elements. This should be reconciled; I propose allowing table-s as direct children of tableset and prescribing full ADQL table references in table/name. -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2015-05-05
   * VODataService has no provisions for how SQL delimited identifiers are to be handled where that is relevant (e.g., in TAP tables endpoints). I propose to explitely say {schema/table/column}/name "must be in forms ready for application" and mention ADQL and the respective symbols as examples. -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2015-05-05
   * !ParamHTTP (and perhaps others) resultType is 0..1. With DALI RESPONSEFORMAT, that should probably be made 0..n. Or perhaps we should just adapt !TAPRegExt's outputFormat, which already models DALI? -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2018-03-16
   * For many reasons, we !DataCollections should be allowed to have capabilities.  -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2018-04-18

---+ Suggested Extensions

   * Have some markup to say what dataproduct types the service will return? This would be particularly useful with !ObsTAP ("what services have time series?"). -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2018-04-18
   * Add numerical/MOC coverage (see [[http://ivoa.net/documents/Notes/Regstc/|RegSTC note]]) -- IVOA.MarkusDemleitner - 2018-04-18
