This service lets VO data publishers assign Digital Object Identifiers
to their services, greatly enhancing their citability. Since
technically, the DOI references the registry record, this service can
only be used on properly registered services.

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.
VOTT is a formatted list of educational/outreach texts on using the
VO: use cases, tutorials, courses, and such. VOTT contains material
for all settings, from pre-school to graduate. It is generated from
the documents known to the VO Registry.
