Description
From ASKAP ticket 5729:
Hi Ben,
I’m writing a simple reader to load the VO Table XML files and I’m trying to use schema driven
parsers to do it, however I’ve run into a small issue and James pointed me your way.
The issue is that the namespaces on the selavy-fitResults.xml and selavy-fitResults_full.xml
files are:
<VOTABLE version="1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/VOTable/v1.1">
However, they should be something like this (which avoids the use of a ns prefix):
<VOTABLE version="1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/v1.1"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOTable/VOTable/v1.1">
The differences are highlighted in bold and I’ve verified the second form does pass my unit tests.
Is this a change that you can make?
Cheers,
Simon
And Ben notes in the ticket:
Looking at the IVOA standards Duchamp implements 1.1, where the change Simon asks for seems to be consistent with the 1.3 standard. The following document specifies VOTable 1.3: http://www.ivoa.net/documents/VOTable/20130920/ Its time to update Duchamp to conform to VOTable 1.3 I guess.
Do this for the next release so we can incorporate into Selavy pronto.
