objectType GenericFrame

extends CoordFrame

The generic coordinate frame is for cases where a domain-specific frame (e.g.: Space, Time), is not required, but the relevant reference metadata is still needed (e.g.: for Redshift or Spectral data)

refPosition	RefLocation		Spatial location in phase space (position and velocity) at which the observed value is considered to have been taken. This will typically be given by a standard reference position, but we allow for custom locations as well.
planetaryEphem	ivoa:string	optional	A planetary ephemeris MAY be provided, and SHOULD be provided whenever appropriate, to indicate which solar system ephemeris was used. If needed, but not provided, it is assumed to be 'DE405'
