Hi all,

I came across an interesting page on the CDS website that may pertain to the Metadata workpackage. A lot of the astronomers may have already seen this, but computer types like me may not:

"Standard for Documentation of Astronomical Catalogues"
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/doc/catstd.htx

"This document details the standards adopted for the documentation of
astronomical catalogues in its version Version 2.0, dated February 2000. A short overview of the conventions, with some tips on how to fill the ReadMe file, is also available."

cheers,
