WP6 Scope and Work Teams

Objectives

Restated, the objective are:

• To decide what technical standards and protocols are required for Euro-VO
• To bring forward these requirements to the IVOA
• To develop drafts of these standards
• To develop prototype software implementing the draft standards
• To make all possible effort to conclude international agreement on the necessary standards
• To ensure that deployments within Euro-VO are compatible with IVOA standards
• Work closely with WP7 and WP8

Scope

• Identify and document any missing technical requirements
• Present requirements to the IVOA
• Develop draft standards that address these requirements
• Development of prototypes
• Seek areas of interaction between existing standards and work towards seamless interoperability
• Close cooperation with other Work Packages, especially WP7 & WP8

Plans

• • Investigate compliance testing of Euro-VO Registered resources
  • Co-ordinate and document prototypes and standards
  • Cover standards not addressed in WP7 (Data Access Layer, Data Models and VOQL):
    • Applications
    • G&WS
    • Resource Registry
    • Semantics
    • VO Event
    • VOTable
    • Theory
    • OGF Astro-RG
    • Data Curation & Preservation
