OPTIONAL
<Primary_Value>
REQUIRED
Main data array
<pds:Local_Internal_Reference>
REQUIRED
<Axis_Value>
OPTIONAL, REPEATABLE
Data object associated with a specific axis of the main data array
<pds:Local_Internal_Reference>
REQUIRED
<primary_axis_number>
REQUIRED
"index" of corresponding axis. Starts at 1. Not clear if this is supposed to be sequence_number, but presumably is.
<Face_Value>
OPTIONAL, REPEATABLE
Data object associated with "two or more axes" of primary data object.
<pds:Local_Internal_Reference>
REQUIRED
<Face_Axis>
REQUIRED x2, REPEATABLE TO x16
Identifies one axis of "face" set
= <primary_axis_number>
REQUIRED
Axis in primary data array
<face_axis_number>
REQUIRED
Index of axis in "face" array.
<Aligned_Value>
OPTIONAL, REPEATABLE
I think this means a data object with intentional the same structure as the primary array, so the corresponding values match up in index space. There is a requirement stated by not enforced for the structures to have "the same dimensions". Not clear how this could be enforced
<pds:Local_Internal_Reference>
REQUIRED
