---+ VOStandard

The version 1.0 registry data model uses [[http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/IDs.html][Resource Identifiers]] in several places to identify which standard a particular resource follows (e.g. the =capability= element's =standardID= attribute).  The [[http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/IDs.html][Identifiers spec]] requires that any IVOA ID must have an entry in an IVOA registry; this implies that the standard itself is registered.  Furthermore, there is an increasing interest to use IVOA identifiers to identify concepts and properties (e.g. VOSpace); the underlying identifier thus must be registered as well. The VOStandard data model and schema provides a framework in which IVOA standards can be described in the registry.

The goals of this extension are:

   * allow support for an IVOA standard be recognized via an IVOA identifier (e.g. as in =standardID=)
   * allow users to discover documentat about a standard protocol via the registry (in particular, via records of instances of the standard).  
   * allow one to define and use IVOA identifiers to identify a concept or property.
