Description
This document describes an XML encoding standard for IVOA
Resource Metadata, referred to as VOResource. This schema is
primarily intended to support interoperable registries used
for discovering resources; however, any application that needs
to describe resources may use this schema. In this document,
we define the types and elements that make up the schema as
representations of metadata terms defined in the IVOA
standard, Resource Metadata for the Virtual Observatory
[Hanisch et al. 2004]. We also describe the general model for
the schema and explain how it may be extended to add new
metadata terms and describe more specific types of resources.
