IVOA Roadmap for 2022A

This outlines the roadmap for development activities by the various IVOA working and interest groups between the Apr 2022 and Oct 2022 Interops.


Applications WG

Data Access Layer WG

Data Model WG

Grid and Web Services WG

Registry WG

Semantics WG

Semantics has quite a few documents in the pipeline at this point. First, we will rather quickly move the Note endorsing the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus for IVOA adoption to the TCG.

Then, there are two maintenance releases for recommendations that ought to be ready for Working Draft early in this cycle: VOUnits 1.1 (minor updates, e.g., for missing units) and VocInVO 2.1 for the new github procedures. We expect that both of them can move on to PR by the southern spring interop.

to be ready for Working Draft early in this cycle: VOUnits 1.1 (minor updates, e.g., for missing units) and VocInVO 2.1 for the new github procedures. We expect that both of them can move on to PR by the southern spring interop.
  Progress with the UCD list 1.5 is harder to predict, but we expect to produce a PEN before the summer break.

Several minor activities are expected, including pre-review changes to product-type in the context of the datalink review, the production of an erratum to the UCD List for SSAP (alternatively, the change could also go in via UCDList 1.5), or working on an interface between Wikidata and the IVOA for the Faciliites list.

Finally, we will continue to process VEPs in the context of maintaining the vocabulary repository. By this activity's nature, we cannot predict at this point how much effort will be required for that.

Data Curation Preservation IG

Education IG

Knowledge Discovery IG

Operations IG

  • Monitor VO health
    • Coordinate weather reports (service compliance)
    • Monitor metadata compliance (UCDs/VOUnits)
  • Address non-compliancy
    • Identify common/persistent errors
    • Support service operators to improve service compliance
    • Work with implementors on software-related issues (SoftID Note should help)
    • Work with WGs on standards-related issues
  • Validation
    • Ensure validators are available for all IVOA standards where applicable
    • Maintain list of validators (IvoaValidatorsSummary)
    • Encourage use of validators
      • on deployed services
      • during standard development
Added:
>
>
  • Authentication standards for VO API usage
    • promote discussion among providers and standards groups regarding fairness of access and load management - authenticated access as a means to manage usage and trace/throttle/block API abusers
 
  • Communication
    • Provide forum for discussion of operational issues

Radio IG

  • upgrading Radio Astronomy Implementation review note before next interop
  • complete discussion on ObsCore extension for visibility data and publish it as a WD. Check consistency for optical interferometru
  • Push the writing of a note for mapping pulsar or time dependant data to Obscore in collaboration with TDIG
  • Demonstrate VO capabilities to MeerKAt and ThunderKat teams in collaboration with TDIG
  • Push the writing of a note for mapping single dish (and beam forming ?) data to ObsCore

Solar System IG

Theory IG

Time Domain IG

Standard and Processes
