Registering TAP tables (and other dataset-within-service-like things):
While GloTS works wonderfully for TAP in TOPCAT, we will nevertheless
publish a note on the auxiliary capabilities, as that will provide more
uniformity in discovery as well as metadata richness. We will then try
to convince the major TAP providers to include the new capabilities in
their records. Client support is already there in TOPCAT. If takeup is
sufficient, we would go for a WD with this by Cape Town.
Registry searchable by spatial constraints: We will continue to lay the
software foundations in pgSphere (i.e., indexable MOCs). The existing
footprintURL mechanism to distribute footprints will be good enough for
prototyping.
Registry Interfaces: Work on version 1.1 (on harvesting and being a
well-behaved registry, with the old client interfaces removed) will
resume once the new RofR operators (CfA) have some experience in
operating it so we can properly assess what RofR material should be in
RI 1.1
Identifiers: Version 2 is in TCG review and should pass the Exec before
the end of 2015.
DOI work: We will continue to talk with Datacite to evaluate
requirements to keep/bring the datacite metadata and VOResource in sync
in the common universe of discourse. This will probably lead to early
drafts of VOResource 1.1 by Cape Town.
TAPRegExt: 1.1 will go to a public WD soon -- the main question there is
whether to factor out the parts relevant to UWS and have a separate
capability for standalone UWS services.
Work on Registry extensions for VOEvent services, HiPS, or VOSpace will
continue or start depending on input by the respective WGs.
We will continue maintenance of the Registry system and contents, as
well as our validation operations. |
