    7070Due to the potential for changes in both input and output for {{{ippToPsps}}}, rather than hard-coding table descriptions, the code is heavily configurable. As such, the tables descriptions are stored as [http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/VOTable/20040811/REC-VOTable-1.1-20040811.html VOTable] files (for [http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/browser/trunk/ippToPsps/config/detection/tables.vot example]), which are a standard of the [http://www.ivoa.net/ IVOA]. Because VOTables are an XML format, they both human and machine readable, expandable and self-describing. These VOTables are generated directly from the PSPS schema using a [http://svn.pan-starrs.ifa.hawaii.edu/trac/ipp/browser/trunk/ippToPsps/perl/pspsSchema2xml.pl script], so that any changes to the schema can be easily passed-along to {{{ippToPsps}}}.
