DIF-C-MRI-5-EPOXI-HARTLEY2-PHOTOM-V1.0
=======================================
o  Typos submitted separately by Matthew.

Result: Certified


DIF-C-HRIV-5-EPOXI-HARTLEY2-DECONV-V1.0
=======================================
o  Add information about the deconvolution algorithm to documentation (see
   Jian-Yang’s presentation)
o  Add some guidance about the differences between the images – so a user could
   tell which might be appropriate for various uses (see Jian-Yang’s
   presentation)
o  Replace null value of “-88.88” in deconv_image_parameters.tab with a flag
   value that is out of range, like “-999”. Tony Farnham and Jian-Yang Li have
   already calculated the actual values.  If possible add them to the table
   rather than leaving them null.  Note in the label the origin of the values
   added.
o  In deconv_image_parameters.tab, column 33 definition of “partial saturated
   pixel” is not clear.
o  The /DATA/ section is repeated in the AAREADME.TXT file.
o  Typos to be submitted separately.

Result: Certified


DIF-C-HRII-3/4-EPOXI-HARTLEY2-V2.0
==================================
o  In the documentation, emphasize which temperatures are critical for
   calibration (Mike DiSanti and Lori Feaga will work the details).
o  Enhance the description of the IR flat field in its label.

Result: Certified. [Note: SBN will verify that the wavelength map really does
        show the “smile” prior to public release.] [Additional: This has
        already been verified.]


DIF-C-HRIV/ITS/MRI-5-TEMPEL1-SHAPE-V2.0
==================================
o  Add definition of “mean radius” to dataset.cat
o  Jian-Yang’s presentation page 7 lists a number of typo-type problems in the
   dataset.cat that should be corrected.
o  The Cartesian version (needed by the VRML) appears to be a noticeable
   degradation of the planetocentric version of the shape model.  Tony F. will
   re-create the Cartesian version to improve the translation. The documents
   related to this will need to be corrected to reflect the new derivation in
   the Cartesian version.
o  See Jian-Yang’s presentation slides 12-14 contain a laundry list of minor
   documentation corrections and improvements.
o  If it’s available, Tom Duxbury requested addition information about how the
   shape model was made.

Result:  Not Certified. Certification dependent upon internal review and acceptance of new
         Cartesian version.


DIF-C-HRIV/MRI-5-HARTLEY2-SHAPE-V1.0
====================================
o  Jian-Yang’s presentation includes a number of minor documentation issues on
   pages 16, 20.
o  The Cartesian version degradation found in the Tempel 1 model appears here
   as well, and should be similarly corrected and documented.
o  The general liens for the Tempel 1 shape model also apply to this data set.

Recommendation:  SPICE PC kernel parameters don’t agree with the dataset.cat
                 description of the axes and rotation.  It probably should.
  
Result:  Not Certified. Certification dependent upon internal review and acceptance of new
         Cartesian version.


EAR-C-COMPIL-4-UNIDENT-V1.0
====================================
o  Need to know things like resolving power of instruments.
o  Would like to know many unidentified lines were observed.
o  It looks like there are values missing from the table that were known to be
   in the papers.   For example, time of observation was recorded in Anita’s
   deVico paper.
o  The difference between “line strength” and “brightness” needs to be clearly
   defined, and there should be units associated with both these values.
o  Need a table covering which wavelength were observed for each comet. This
   file would also serve as a useful index of comets included in the data set.
o  The dataset.cat does not look like it was completed prior to submission!

Result: Rejected.  Please edit and re-submit.  SBN will provide guidance.


RO-A-OSINAC/OSIWAC-5-LUTETIA-SHAPE-V1.0
=======================================
o  The dataset.cat has a typo in the radius of the third axis – should be 75,
   not 175 km
o  “plate_shape_definition.asc” refers to the wrong object (Tempel 1, not
   Lutetia).
o  Include additional information about how the model was created (see Tom’s
   slide 5).
o  Need a better definition of how “center” is defined/selected.
o  See Jian-Yang’s presentation for a short list of minor documentation
   corrections (slide 22).
o  If possible, add quality flags to the facet table.

Result: Certified


RO-A-OSINAC/OSIWAC-5-STEINS-SHAPE-V1.0
======================================
o  The actual coordinate system is not specified in the dataset.cat.
o  “plate_shape_definition.asc” refers to the wrong object (Tempel 1, not
   Steins).
o  Need a better definition of how “center” is defined/selected.
o  Jian-Yang’s presentation slide 24 has a list of minor documentation issues.
o  If possible, add flags to the facet table to indicate which are from direct
   observation and which from lightcurves.

Result: Certified


DIF-M-HRIV-3/4-EPOXI-MARS-V2.0
DIF-M-MRI-3/4-EPOXI-MARS-V2.0
===============================
o  Typos submitted by email

Result: Certified.


DIF-E-HRIV-3/4-EPOXI-EARTH-V2.0
DIF-E-MRI-3/4-EPOXI-EARTH-V2.0
===============================
o  Add or point to the known geometric information that is “UNK” in the
  labels, from the labels.
o  Carolyn Crowe has published a paper about this data set which should
   probably be added to the reference list (it’s  mentioned in Matthew’s typo
   list).
o  Typos submitted by email.

Result: Certified.


The end.
