Andrea,
Just a couple of followups to your reply to me on Monday:
- I agree with your spelling change: phys.energyDensity
- spec.veloc; em.opt: I agree if the implication of this is agreed
to be "optical method for determining velocity" rather than
"velocity measured from the optical spectrum". (Following Arnold's point
that yes, alas, all methods are used for all kinds of data)
- meta.entity etc as "a few specific words to describe VOResource"
Yes... although we should be careful to define them in a general
way. I'll try and propose some specifics at Kyoto.
- I'm not sure "stat.background" is quite right - to me, background is
an astronomical/physical rather than statistical concept.
Let me be clear about my proposal: the src.* would be secondary words,
so you'd write
phot.flux;em.IR;src.total
I agree src.net should be the default, but maybe it's helpful for clarity
in some cases.
instr.background seems not right, because the background can be
of cosmic rather than instrumental origin.
Thanks,
Jonathan
