| Description: The type attribute provides a classification for the resource. |
| Namespace Id: pds | Steward: pds | Class Name: Primary_Result_Summary | Type: ASCII_Short_String_Collapsed |
| Minimum Value: None | Maximum Value: None | Minimum Characters: 1 | Maximum Characters: 255 |
| Unit of Measure Type: None | Default Unit Id: None | Attribute Concept: Type | Conceptual Domain: Short_String |
| Status: Deprecated | Nillable: false | Pattern: None |
| Permissible Value(s) | Value | Value Meaning |
| | Altimetry | Measurement of altitude. |
| | Astrometry | Precise measurement of positions of heavenly bodies. |
| | Count | A recording of the number of discrete events |
| | E/B-Field Vectors | Arrays populated by values of the electric/magnetic field in three orthogonal directions. |
| | Gravity Model | An approximation to the gravity field of an object derived from measurement and/or theory |
| | Image | A two-dimensional representation of a field of view |
| | Lightcurves | This value indicates data products containing time-sequences of magnitude measurements for one or more individual targets (typically asteroids or comets). |
| | Map | A two-dimensional representation of the plan view of a surface |
| | Meteorology | Measurements of the meteorological conditions of an atmosphere such as pressure, temperature, wind speed, etc. |
| | Null Result | Measurements which failed. |
| | Occultation | Measurements conducted when one celestial body progressively hides another |
| | Photometry | Measurement of light flux |
| | Physical Parameters | This value indicates data products containing compilations of one or more physical parameters - like albedo, density, absolute magnitude, etc. It is generally used for data that combines these highly-derived results from multiple sources. |
| | Polarimetry | Measurement of the polarization state of radiation. |
| | Radiometry | Measurement of the radiation coming from a body, usually at infrared and longer wavelengths |
| | Reference | A Reference product provides ancillary information needed to support the use of another data product. Reference products include things like tables of foot notes or lists of detailed citations, and are usually associated with data products compiled from the published literature. |
| | Shape Model | An approximation to the shape of an object derived from measurements and/or theory |
| | Spectrum | An array containing values of a dependent variable as a function of an independent variable. |
