IVOA recommendation: Parameter Description Language Version 1.0

28 Sep 2015  ·  Zwolf Carlo Maria, Harrison Paul, Garrido Julian, Ruiz Jose Enrique, Petit Franck Le ·

This document discusses the definition of the Parameter Description Language (PDL). In this language parameters are described in a rigorous data model. With no loss of generality, we will represent this data model using XML. It intends to be a expressive language for self-descriptive web services exposing the semantic nature of input and output parameters, as well as all necessary complex constraints. PDL is a step forward towards true web services interoperability.
