Dear all,
after a first round of comments and suggestions, let me summarize:
- I think it will be unwise to re-open the discussion on the already
standard UCD main document (thus de-classing it back to WD) to ease the
approval of a second standard, just because we are too lazy to find a
reasonable spelling for a few words!
- Let?s keep changes to a minimum. I found suggestions on the atmol
and flux/sb words very interesting and worth discussing with more time
and care. Shortly we will know how to do it !
(http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/UCDmaintenance.html)
- atmol: I think the simplest solution in this particular case is to
change the words phys.at.* into phys.atomic.*
- ?obtorto collo? (we do it, but we whould have preferred not to do
it!) we go for phot.flux.density* and phys.energy.density
- phys.massToLight can become phys.composition.massLightRatio (indeed
the ratio has to do with the barionic composition of galaxies or
clusters of galaxies)
- phys.massYield can become phys.composition.yield (also in this case
the new version is better than the old one - mass just indicated units)
I will wait for a few more days before changing the list of words.
Cheers
Andrea
