Members

name	type	mult	description
rights	Rights	0 or more	Information about rights held in and over the resource. Mainly for compatibility with DataCite, this element is repeatable. Resource record authors are advised that within the Virtual Observatory clients will typically only display and/or use the rights element occurring first and ignore later elements.
capability	Capability	0 or more	a description of a general capability of the service and how to use it. This describes a general function of the service, usually in terms of a standard service protocol (e.g. SIA), but not necessarily so. A service can have many capabilities associated with it, each reflecting different aspects of the functionality it provides.
