Description:
This document describes an XML encoding standard for metadata
about IVOA standards themselves, referred to as
StandardsRegExt. It is intended to allow for the discovery of
a standard via an IVOA identifier that refers to the
standard. It also allows one to define concepts that are
defined by the standard which can themselves be referred to
via an IVOA identifier (augmented with a URL fragment
identifier). Finally, it can also provide a machine
interpretable description of a standard service interface. We
describe the general model for the schema and explain its
intended use by interoperable registries for discovering
resources.

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.

Description:
This document describes an XML encoding standard for IVOA Resource
Metadata, referred to as VOResource. This schema is primarily intended
to support metadata exchange between interoperable registries and
resource discovery within them. 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 in close alignment to the
metadata terms defined in Resource Metadata for the Virtual Observatory
(Hanisch 2007), but also taking into account other metadata standards as
well as experiences from the operation of the VO Registry. We also
describe the general model for the schema and explain how it is extended
to add new metadata terms and describe more specific types of resources.
