Abstract

This IVOA specification details a list of metadata dealing with time- related features needed for discovery of time series data sets, in the context of ObsTAP services. It is based on science cases explained in a previous IVOA note prepared in 2018 and recently revised (Nebot, A., et al. , 2018). Here we discuss various use-cases. We highlight first which existing time related metadata in the ObsCore standard version 1.1 can be used, and second propose new features needed for an ObsCore time extension in order to allow more search criteria for time-resolved data sets.
