Previous: Rationale
The positive impact will be:
- Simplification of appearance of MeasurementSet,
- Reduction in number of columns immediately visible to programmers
and users,
- Encapsulation of information in subtables,
- Deferrment of some decisions on table content,
- Improved information content of MS,
- One format for SingleDish and Synthesis,
- Improved clarity of model for Instrument
The negative impact will be:
- More major change than simply rationalizing columns and name so
time required for coding is longer,
- Indirection of access to information in subtables,
