In the current definition of ObsCore, the data product collects data from one or several observations. The same happens in \gls{HE} context.

The initial role of this metadata was to hold the access\_url allowing data access.

Then in such a case the value for access\_format should be "application/x-votable+xml;content=datalink". The format itself of the data file is then given by the datalink parameter "content-type".

The signal observed is the result of event counting and would be PHA (Pulse height amplitude at detector level) or a number of counts for photons or particles, or a flux, etc.., depending on the data calibration level considered.

ObsCore uses o\_ucd to characterise the nature of the measure.

Various UCDs are used for that: o\_ucd=phys.count, phot.count, phot.flux, etc. there is currently no UCD defined for a raw measure like PulseHeightAmplitude, but if needed this can be requested for addition in the UCDList vocabulary. See VEP-UCD-15\_pulseheight.txt proposed at \url{'https://voparis-gitlab.obspm.fr/vespa/ivoa-standards/semantics/vep-ucd/-/blob/master/'}.

Note that these parameters vary between the dataset of calib\_level of 1 (Raw) to the a more advanced data products (calib\_level 2 or 3), which are filtered and rebinned from the original raw event-list.

In fact the t\_xel, s\_xel1 and s\_xel2, em\_xel elements do not apply for an event-list in raw count as it has not been binned yet.
