Hi,

    The new version of votable i.e VoTable1.1 introduces a new element termed GROUP. The DTD definition for the same is -

<!-- GROUP can contain a description, fields/parameters and sub-groups -->
<!ELEMENT GROUP (DESCRIPTION?, (FIELD+|PARAM|GROUP|FIELDref|PARAMref)*)>
<!ATTLIST GROUP
 ID    ID    #IMPLIED
 name  CDATA #IMPLIED
 ref   IDREF #IMPLIED

 ucd CDATA #IMPLIED
 utype CDATA #IMPLIED
>

Does the definition (FIELD+|PARAM|GROUP|FIELDref|PARAMref)* mean that if the element has either PARAM|GROUP|FIELDref|PARAMref it should compulsorily have a FIELD element?

I am a little confused with the interpretation and any pointers to the correct meaning would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking You,
Prameela.
