This is a complete re-write of the Spectral Dictionary version 1.1.0.0 to bring it into compliance with requirements and best practices established since the original version was created. Existing attribute definitions have been reviewed and in some cases updated. This should be reflected in the version_id value of the attribute. The "submitter_name" of "ACR" indicates Anne (C.) Raugh. The IM 1.10.1.0-compatible version of this schema is identical in content to the 1.9.0.0 version. The Axis_Bin_Set class describes the spectral characteristics of each band along a spectral axis of an Array. This class is used in cases where the spectral information is not uniform along the spectral axis. The Axis_Bin_Set class describes the spectral characteristics of each band along a spectral axis of an Array. This class is used in cases where the spectral information is not uniform along the spectral axis. The Axis_Bin_Set class describes the spectral characteristics of each band along a spectral axis of an Array. This class is used in cases where the spectral information is not uniform along the spectral axis. The Bin_Center_Lookup class provides a link to a map or list of bin center values - either to a field in a spectral table, or to a distinct data object that is part of the same product, or to a separate PDS product containing the information. This class groups the various bin description options, allowing a user to choose one. The Bin_Frequency class specifies the characteristics of an individual bin along a spectral or other binned axis in an Array object, in units of frequency. The Bin_Wavelength class specifies the characteristics of an individual bin along a spectral or other binned axis in an Array object, in units of wavelength. The Bin_Wavenumber class specifies the characteristics of an individual bin along a spectral or other binned axis in an Array object, in units of wavenumber. The Bin_Width_Constant class is used inside a Bin_Width_Lookup class for those cases where the bin width is either not well known or unknown. It provides a way to specify a nominal constant width or indicate that there is no available information about the bin width. If the bin width is completely unknown, use the appropriate bin_width attribute for the spectral type (frequency, wavelength, or wavenumber), and indicate that it is nil, with a reason of "unknown". When this class is used, a full explanation of the situation should be provided by the bin_width_desc attribute of the parent class. The Bin_Width_Lookup class provides a link to a map or list of bin width values - either to a field in a spectral table, or to a distinct data object that is part of the same product, or to a separate PDS product containing the information. The Circular_FOV class contains attributes to describe a circular aperture/field of view. The Complex_FOV class is used for apertures (slits) that are not either circular or a simple rectangular shape. The Field_of_View class is used to describe the field of view corresponding to the spectral data object. This class should describe the aperture or slit used in making the spectral observation, when applicable, as opposed to the theoretical full field of view of a telescope or boresight (which should be defined in a Geometry Dictionary class). The Filter class identifies the filter associated with a specific band or bin along a spectral axis in an Array object. The filter may be identified by either name, identifier, or number or some combination of these. The Observation_Parameters class collects various values related to the observational circumstances. In general, this class should be present, and all parameters applicable to the situation should be included, even though optional. In some complex cases or for high-level derived products this class may not be applicable, in which case it may be omitted. Use the 'comment' attribute to describe any special circumstances users should be aware of. This class is used to describe a rectangular (i.e., slit) aperture. The Spectral_Characteristics class provides information about the spectral characteristics of a 1D, 2D, or 3D spectral data object. It is note used for tabulated spectra - tables in which each row The Spectral_Lookup class references either specific Fields included in a spectral table (for a 1D spectrum), or a 2-dimensional lookup map providing spectral characteristics for a corresponding spectral Array object. In the latter case, the referenced lookup map may either be to the referencing product, or an external stand-alone product. The Uniformly_Sampled_Frequency class provides attributes describing the spectral characteristics of a named axis of an Array object or the rows of a Table object, in cases where the spectral sampling interval is regular and the sampling parameters are in frequency units. The Uniformly_Sampled_Wavelength class provides attributes describing the spectral characteristics of a named axis of an Array object or the rows of a Table object, in cases where the spectral sampling interval is regular and the sampling parameters are in wavelength units. The Uniformly_Sampled_Wavenumber class provides attributes describing the spectral characteristics of a named axis of an Array object or the rows of a Table object, in cases where the spectral sampling interval is regular and the sampling parameters are in wavenumber units. This section contains the simpleTypes that provide more constraints than those at the base data type level. The simpleTypes defined here build on the base data types. This is another component of the common dictionary and therefore falls within the common namespace. The absolute_calibration_star_name attribute provides a name in a standard format (i.e., one that is recognized by the SIMBAD system) for the star used to reduce the raw spectral data to the units presented in this spectrum. This is the analog to solar_calibration_star_name for non-reflectance spectra. The axis_name attribute contains a string that matches the axis_name attribute in the associated array-type spectrum object. The bin_center_field_name must contain the value of a 'name' attribute of a Field defined in the referenced Table object. This named Field contains the bin center information for each row in a 1D spectrum presented in tabular form. It will have units (and possibly offset and scaling factor) as indicated in the Field definition. This will usually be accompanied by a bin_width_field_name. The bin_profile_description attributes provides a text description of the method used to determine or otherwise define the bin widths following. The description should include information on the shape (e.g. gaussian, square wave, etc.) and what the bin_width value means (i.e., standard deviation of a gaussian function or full-width at half max (FWHM)). The bin_sequence_number provides the sequential numbering of bins along an axis in an Array object. The bin_width_field_name must contain the value of a 'name' attribute of a Field defined in the referenced Table object. This named Field contains the bin width information for each row in a 1D spectrum presented in tabular form. It will have units (and possibly offset and scaling factor) as indicated in the Field definition. This attribute must be accompanied by a bin_center_field_name. The bin_width_frequency attribute provides the width of a bin along a spectral axis in a spectral object, in frequency units. The method used to calculate the width must be specified using the bin_width_desc attribute.

The method used to calculate the width must be specified using the bin_width_desc attribute. The bin_width_wavenumber attribute provides the width of a bin along a spectral axis in a spectral object, in wavenumber units. The method used to calculate the width must be specified using the bin_width_desc attribute. The body_positive_pole_position_angle attribute provides the angle the long axis of the slit makes with respect to the positive (or "north") pole of the target body, measured clockwise from the pole in the range 0-180 degrees. The celestial_north_position_angle attribute provides the angle the long axis of the slit makes with respect to celestial north, measured eastward of celestial north in the range 0-180 degrees. The center_frequency attribute provides the value at the center of a bin along the band axis of a spectral data object. When describing data from a spectrometer, the value corresponds to the peak of the response function for a particular detector and/or grating.

The comment attribute is an unlimited length, format-preserved, UTF-8 text field for comments relevant to the context in which it appears. The description attribute is an unlimited length, format-preserved, UTF-8 text field used specifically for description of circumstances related to the data product of which a user should be aware and might logically expect to find in the label. The detector_number attribute provides the spectrometer detector number corresponding to a band of a spectral qube. Detector numbers are usually assigned consecutively from 1, in order of increasing wavelength. The diameter_angle attribute provides the angle subtended on the sky by the diameter of a circular aperture. The filter_name attribute provides the commonly-used name of the instrument filter through which an image or measurement was acquired or which is associated with a given instrument mode. The filter_number attribute provides the numeric identifier of an instrument filter through which an image or measurement was acquired or which is associated with a given instrument mode. Within the bin class of a spectral data object, it identifies the filter through which data in the given band were acquired. The first_center_frequency attribute provides the value at the center of the first bin along the spectral axis of a spectral data object in frequency units. The first_center_wavelength attribute provides the value at the center of the first bin along the spectral axis of a spectral data object in wavelength units. The first_center_wavenumber attribute provides the value at the center of the first bin along the spectral axis of a spectral data object in wavenumber units. The grating_position attribute of a spectral cube describes the grating position which corresponds to the band. Grating positions are usually assigned consecutively from 0, and increasing position causes increasing wavelength for each detector. The last_center_frequency attribute provides the value at the center of the last bin along the spectral axis of a spectral data object in frequency units. The last_center_wavelength attribute provides the value at the center of the last bin along the spectral axis of a spectral data object in wavelength units.

The length_angle attribute provides the angle subtended on the sky by the long dimension of a simple slit. The net_integration_time for a spectrum is the total integration time per pixel. For many detectors (CCDs, for example), all pixels are exposed simultaneously, so this value will correspond to the observation interval. In some cases, however, an instrument will sweep across pixels, rows, or planes, so that the observation period may be substantially longer than the actual integration time contributing to the individual pixels. The number_of_exposures attribute indicates how many individual exposures or distinct integrations were combined to produce the spectrum. The original_bin_number attribute of a spectral Array object is used when the current data object is a subset of some original data object. The original_bin_number for each band identifies the bin_sequence_number of the corresponding band in the original data object. The resolution_limit_frequency is the smallest possible distinguishable interval in frequency for the instrument. The resolution_limit_wavelength is the smallest possible distinguishable interval in wavelengths for the instrument. The resolution_limit_wavenumber is the smallest possible distinguishable interval in wavenumber for the instrument. The sampling_base attribute indicates the numeric base of the associated logarithmic sampling interval. The sampling_interval_frequency attribute provides the spacing of points, in frequency units, at which data are sampled and at which a value for an instrument or data parameter is available. This sampling interval can be either the original (raw) sampling or the result of some resampling process.

The spectral_bin_type attribute contains one of a defined set of values that indicates the binned sampling parameter type (frequency, wavelength, or wavenumber) of the spectrum. The spectrum_format attribute is required to define the specific dimensionality of the structure or substructure that contains the intensity values. The value_field_name attribute is required for 1D (linear) spectra. 1D spectra are presented as a table, where each row presents one point in the spectrum. This field must contain a string corresponding to the 'name' attribute of the table field that contains the spectral value. The width_angle is the angle subtended on the sky by the short dimension of a simple slit.
