Associations in S*AP response

(ESA)

A mailman distribution list has been created for this Task. The email address is:

WP7_T5_AssocSAP@euro-vo.org

while the archive with the mail messages can be found at:

http://www.eso.org/lists/archives/wp7_t5_assocsap/

Possible areas of work

• Future second generation protocols will have complex associations in the response (e.g. multiple images per observation, Echelle spectra, multi-position queries to SIAP services, etc)
• Although some efforts have been done to propose the way to express this complex, some work and standardization is needed
• Combination with Data Model efforts is needed

WP7 objectives fulfilled

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

Possible Internal Deliveries

• Proposal of standard definition of serialization of associations in S*AP response
• Server/client prototypes as a proof of concept
