Status

The last stable version is REC-2.0.

SIA 2.0 ported to github

• SIA 2.0 became an IVOA recommendation on december the 23rd 2015
• Original source was an OpenOffice file
• Here can be found the result of porting this specification to GitHub
• Some changes in lay out of the document
  • "Status of the document" section is automatically generated by ivoatex process
  • Tables have a different rendering than in the original version
  • References are using the "\citep" flavor. They are generally quoted only once, with a few exceptions when it is ambiguous. Original version used the "[n]" notation for each occurence of the publication to be quoted in the text.
  • This porting has been made to allow authors to propose PR for identified errata and propose changes towards version 2.1
