Dear Brian,
thank you for circulating your work on a possible Catalogue DM.
As you know, the Catalogue Data Model subgroup presented a draft proposal to approach the Catalogue Data Model, which I discussed with you -and others- during the ADASS at Pasadena.
Your proposal matches quite well that one, and I think it would be interesting to have it uploaded to the Catalogue Data Model pages.
I think Kyoto would be the right place to discuss about the merging of the different proposals. I will ask Jonathan to book some time for this in the DM general group.
On our side -am now talking as ESA VO, not Catalogue DM chair- we are preparing a Data Model for Sources. We will circulate it soon.
Please let me know if you're OK with uploading the info to the Catalogue pages or you want me to do it.
Thank you.
Cheers,
P.
