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
