Spectrum Data Model Implementation

I believe this is relevant for many people on the dm, dal, grid, apps and votable IVOA mailing lists, so I figured I'd send it to interop...

Following the proposal for the spectrum data model, we have completed a first implementation of an XML Web Service that returns spectra in the new VO (proposal) format. Please go to

        http://www.voservices.net/SpectrumSchemaWs/

The links on the bottom of the page show you how our class gets serialized into different xml formats that might be simple or more complex depending on the content. A VOTable version of them is also implemented for reference. It is the for demonstration purposes, the data are somewhat random only the format is what we intended to show. The XSD schema is toward the end.

We are planning to iterate on it once again with Jonathan, Doug and you to incorporate all feedbacks from the IVOA mtg in Boston and the mailing lists. Please send us comments and suggestions! Thank you!

Cheers,
Laszlo Dobos and
Tamas Budavari
