[Plastic-devs] spectrum messaging

[Mark T. <m.b...@br...>]

Chaps,

what message/s is/are currently used for the transfer of spectra
over PLASTIC?  Presumably it is done between the workbench and
VO-Spec, though when VO-Spec registers it doesn't appear to 
indicate which messages it supports.  I suppose the answer is
ivo://votech.org/votable/loadFromURL; if that's the case, is there
a standard way to know which columns of the VOTable mean what?

An alternative (and one that I'd like to see) would be
ivo://votech.org/fits/spectrum/loadFromURL, which would make sense
sitting next to  fits/image/loadFromURL.
