   * Semantics 
      * The [[http://www.euro-vo.org/pub/][EuroVO]] project, [[http://wiki.eurovotech.org/][VOTech]], had a work package [[http://wiki.eurovotech.org/twiki/bin/view/VOTech/ResourceDiscovery][DS5: Intelligent Resource Discovery]] which is focussed on developing astro semantics with the goal of making resource discovery and use more user-oriented. This area of VOTech is led by SebastienDerriere.
