UCD matching function

Hello,

Could someone throw light on the UCD matching function ? Will there be separate parsers written for the matching ? In VOPlot as of now, we use UCDs to look for similar columns from another VOTable. This is a simple string match, but I guess the matching function for the new UCD system will be more complex.

Will the matching be provided as a web service ? How much data will a software have to carry with it for the actual matching (if the matching is done by the software tool) ? I am especially worried about this since VOPlot is an applet and an applet with a heavy footprint will not be usable.

I would really appreciate any help on this.
