Hi VOTablers,

The attendence at this IVOA session is rather sparse -- and we were just 8 persons at the VOTable session. Quite easy to take decisions, but a larger consensus is wished...

The viewgraphs are available from
http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/InterOpSep2006VOTable The wiki page contains in particular links to 3 scenarios to express the link to STC for the definition of the coordinate system which should replace the COOSYS currently used mechanism. The preference of the group was clearly for scenario #2. If there is opposition, it's better to shout now.

Other topics discussed which might be of interest: slight changes in the schema (addition of an ID attribute in the TR to make most code generator happier about TABLEDATA class, question of empty TD's (null values in columns), sexagesimal usage, referencing TABLE objects.
