Description:
This document provides a complete design description of the
Space-Time Coordinate (STC) metadata for the Virtual
Observatory. It explains the various components, highlights
some implementation considerations, presents a complete set of
UML diagrams, and discusses the relation between STC and
certain other parts of the Data Model. Two serializations are
discussed: XML Schema (STC-X) and String (STC-S); the former
is an integral part of this Recommendation.
