~ ~ 1. Gathering "components" into "sources"\\  ~ ~ ~ ~ a) Source properties: total size, total flux, number of components, axial ratio, simple morphological classifier\\  ~ ~ 2. Optical/infrared cross-identifications (Bayesian, with one or more possibilities and their probabilities)\\  ~ ~ 3. Polynomial fit to total intensity spectrum per component (for complex spectra)\\  ~ ~ 4.  Polarized intensity (and error) at peak of Faraday spectrum, or upper limit\\ ~ ~ 4. 5.  Rotation Measure (and error) for each total intensity "component"\\ ~ ~ 5. 6.  Identification of multiple polarized components for each total intensity component\\ ~ ~ ~ ~ a) RM, Q0, U0, P0 (plus some measure of I?)\\ \\  ~ ~ 6. 7.  Mean RM and sigmaRM $\sigma_{RM}$  for each "source"\\ ~ ~ 7. 8.  First order characterization of Faraday complexity (2 or more RMs along single line of sight)\\ ~ ~ ~ ~ a) Multiple-component Q,U fitting\\  ~ ~ ~ ~ b) Open-ended decomposition of Faraday spectrum (e.g., clean, wavelet, compressive sampling)\\  ~ ~ 8. 9.  Transient & Variable Source (Component?)
