List of EPN-TAP parameters
v2, 3/8/2015 (SE)
v3, 29/8/2015 (SE, integrating comments by PLS and BC)
v4, 7/9/2015 (SE, integrating comments by PLS)
v5, 7/10/2015 (SE, integrating comments by PLS: time_scale UCD)
v6, 7/11/2015 (SE, integrating comments by PLS/BC)
v7, 14/12/2015 (SE, added point 8, clarification of an older idea)
...
All floating point parameters are now in double precision.
8) Thematic extensions
Some areas will require optional parameters, which need to be used consistently between services addressing the same field. Such extensions have to be designed by sub-groups involved in the corresponding data services, either as providers or users. This certainly includes:
- Lab spectroscopy: parameters to describe mineral samples (and possibly other ones)
- Orbital/rotational parameters and physical propertis of solar system bodies (TBC)
