Hello,
I just released a series of basic tools to ease manipulation of the UCD1+. They are described here, with simple CGI forms: http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/UCD/tools.htx
A Web Service access is also available, and documented here: http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cdsws/ucdClient.gml
These tools allow:
translate: convert UCD1 into default corresponding UCD1+
explain: get the description of a UCD1+ word/combination
validate: check whether a UCD1+ is well-formed
upgrade: convert deprecated UCD1+ to a valid expression
assign: attempt to find the best UCD1+ corresponding to a plain text description
They will be presented to those of you attending the meeting in Kyoto, during the UCD session!
Sebastien.
