S3 from the point of view of SimDB thanks to Carlos, Rick for discussions

S3 (simply) Model characterised by a number of parameters and their allowed values S3 protocol Query for parameters returns VOTable with parameters one can use in query: p1,p2,p3... Query with parameters http://...?...&p1=v1&p2=v2... Returns VOTable with FIELDs describing result, including accessRef to file containing the results accessRefs return e.g. VOTable with data

S3 in SimDB See SimDB/DM (or in HTML)

SimDB and S3 SimDB services multiple SimDB:Protocols, S3 one: one protocol per SimDB:Protocol SimDB describes more aspects of models and experiments apart from input parameters. Are these of interest? Can S3 be given a data model derived/cut from SimDB DM? Is it useful to try to put S3, SimDAP and SimDB in same context (defined by DM) shared concepts/vocabulary common utype-s
