Sorry Andrea,

But if we go for obs.image.scale
then one would also think that the following should exist:

obs.spectrum.scale

And furthermore, personally if I see a scale at that level then I also expect:

obs.image.wcs.ctype
obs.image.wcs.crpix
obs.image.wcs.crval
obs.image.wcs.cdmatrix
etc.

and similarly for obs.spectrum ...

Hence, I like much better the pos than the obs.image because it is more generic.

So in the end I like much better:

pos.wcs.ctype
pos.wcs.crval
pos.wcs.scale  !!!

etc etc

because we can reuse it in many different contexts (spectra, images etc). Let's keep together all the "how is the dataset sampled?" elements under the same UCD (pos) and not let them spread under different ones.
