Hi, Mireille, I would like to present how we have dealt with Provenance for the IRAM 30m antenna archive, and also the DSS-63 antenna archive.

There was an announcement on the current work on implementing the STC library by Arnold Rots on August 12th, 2008, at 20:55 CEST:

Is this effort separate from what you are proposing?

One issue I have, and might be shared with other researchers, but it is specially acute for people starting their scientific careers, is the status of IVOA publications. I believe that at least talks with ADS people should be started so that IVOA Notes, Working Drafts, and Recommendations finally can make their way into ADS, with bibcodes of their own (for instance, yyyytttttIVON....0S for IVOA notes, yyyytttttIVOP....0S for IVOA Proposed Recommendations, and yyyytttttIVOR....0S for IVOA Recommendations, where yyyy is year of proposal, ttttt are five characters selected from initials in the title, padded with periods (.), and S is the initial of the surname for the first author). Igor raised a similar concern when he asked a few months ago how to cite IVOA standards...
As bibcode references can be part of different fields in different data models, I believe this is something which can benefit also the self-documentation of protocol output.
I would also like to raise the fact that part of the semantics in IVOA Data Models, specially for variable parts, or information not usually accessible, must not rely just on UCDs and UTypes, but on Ontology elements using the nascent IVOA Thesaurus. We are using such an extension to identify fields with too generic or different to find UCDs.
