  Hi Jonathan,

  There might be a slight misunderstanding on this. The planetary system community has worked on their needs to express the quantities they are measuring in their field with proper UCDs. You can see the result of this reflexion here:
http://portail.imcce.fr/fr/expert/ssvo/wgovp/propucd.html   I think these suggestions are worth examining, and they seem quite mature: why not taking them into account for the PR.   I am less confident that we can incorporate in the PR all the astronomical object types/phenomenons that were discussed for VOEvent (is this what you call "semantics for astronomical objects"?).

Sebastien.
