Dear all,
An upgraded version of our note "A footprint Specification using current VO Standards: VOTABLE, SIA and STC Version 1.01" is now available on the IVOA site. The URL is: http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/Footprint.html It documents instrumental footprint support of tools like VirGO and Aladin.
This is just a note and has to be seen as a VOTABLE-based contribution to the definition of more general footprint standard, which will include pure STC xml-schema based definitions such as in the JHU service and conversion rules.
A collaborative effort is going to start on that topic under responsability of the DAL working group.
Best regards
