Kevin,

I discovered that there's an inconsistancy between the RI keyword search interface as described in the spec's text and the WSDL (both in the appendix and the on http://www.ivoa.net/wsdl). The text lists the inputs as including "from" and "max" for specifying the range, while the WSDL usess "from" and "to". The text ("from" and "max") is consistent with our discussion:

    Subject: from/to parameters
    http://www.ivoa.net/forum/registry/0606/1656.htm

    Subject: a version for recommended change to GetResource,GetIdentity     http://www.ivoa.net/forum/registry/0606/1662.htm

My recommendation is to update the WSDL, including changing the namespace to http://www.ivoa.net/wsdl/RegistrySearch/v1.0.1

Can people comment on how difficult this would be to update your registries? Note that "to" and "max" are semantically different: "max" means "the maximum number of matched records to return. The service may choose to return fewer."

cheers,
