Dear member of the UCD_wg,

since last Friday (20050429) an updated list of UCD words is available at:

http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/UCD/ucd1p-words.txt

at the UCD page:

The new list of words has been edited according to the very valuable comments coming from the community and also thanks to the (almost!) every day use of them made by Sebastien and myself.

The most important differences with the previous version (20040823) concern

distances and sizes (linear/angular)
the introduction of a rectangular/cartesian reference frame
the phot.color section, much simplified
spelling, abbreviations, syntax ...

At the UCD page you can also find un updated version of the UCD_tree browser(s)
and a new tool, the ucd_builder:

http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/UCD/cgi-bin/descr2ucd

that uses a description in "natural" language to find the relevant ucd_words, and then tries to build a valid ucd out of them.

In these two weeks before Kyoto please explore the list, use the tools and send back comments.
A more "formal" comment page is available to suggest changes in the list of words at:
http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/UCD/cgi-bin/comment/ucdComments

Have fun.

Andrea
