... Problem with UCDs is that they're not equivalent to FITS metadata. Most of FITS metadata was supposed to be expressed by means of VOTABLE keywords, or...
Juan, ... Well no, they're not equivalent to FITS keywords, in the sense that there will be FITS keywords which have no direct UCD equivalent, and vice versa....

I took delivery of a spanking new iMac on Wednesday. Of course it came with Tiger installed, and I was initially a little worried that none of the standard...
