8 months ago My 2 cents is that changing this to an extensible vocabulary, as opposed to just adding a new outreach entry in the enumeration, would probably be better.
For example, we had a placeholder in our tables for intent=engineering, though we're not using it (that said, one could argue if calibration==engineering). But maybe there really aren't too many other intents that we need to consider.
STScI has been ingesting observations encapsulating images created by the Office of Public Outreach into our CAOM database. We've needed to use intent_type=science for these, but ideally we would prefer an outreach intent for them. Partially implemented via PR https://github.com/opencadc/caom2tools/pull/171 but opening an issue here for further discussion.
