---++ Version 0.21
   * [[http://www.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/IvoaGridAndWebServices/vospace-0.21.doc][vospace-0.21.doc]]

This document was produced as a result of the discussions that occured at the Victoria Interop meeting.

---++ Change Requests
---+++ Specify the key names and meanings for a small group of "essential" property keys
The minimum set which I would say we need mandatory names are
   * vos.Owner
   * vos.ModificationDate
   * vos.Size
   * vos.MimeType

-- IVOA.PaulHarrison

I agree a list of the common properties would be useful.

How about _Define each of the common (not mandatory) properties in an annex of the main specification._

Then, we post a separate change request for each property, including details of exactly what it means and how it is represented.

---+++ Clarify the use of the Format parameter in some calls
I believe that the original intention of Format was to specify a possible transformation of the data (mainly on export of table data from RDBMS based stores). In the current version of the document it reads as if this parameter is merely a description of the data - in which case mime-type suffices. In addition I am not sure if this parameter has any meaning for import operations.

-- IVOA.PaulHarrison

I agree we need to clarify this.
However, MIME type does not describe what we need.

Like property and protocol, we should add definitions of the common VO formats as an annex to the specification.
