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
• 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
