- RFC process: model to be dropped if a TAP/CAMDC based solution can work.
Grid_and_Web_Services_WG
Auth and Authz: * New SSO version, Working draft by October 2020:
-
- Describe approach for obtaining token credentials (SSO)
- Describe approach for validating token credentials (SSO)
- Define an IVOA "Realm" and how it determines the scope of services for which a token is applicable. (SSO)
- Implement OAuth in TAP
- Group Membership Service move to PR and it has two reference implementations: CADC and IA2
- Credential Delegation protocol: introduce delegation based on token.
Science platforms:
- Encouraged groups to use Kubernetes. Data centres will be running services as containers. Natural step to run user code in containers. Standards after more experience.
- Encouraging remote executing prototypes with containers. What infrastructure and information did you need? What problems did you face?
- Describe POSIX access to a platform. New VOResource Interface Type?
- Encourage collaboration. Share knowledge, code and resources with similar institutes. Organic convergence.
Registry WG
Operations:
- Ongoing validation: check all registry contents for standards validation and consistency
- Encourage takeup of altIdentifier information, especially DOIs, and consistent facility/instrument metadata, across publishing registries
- Facilitate creation and updates of VOResource versions of standards records as we update the GitHub repository, and provide them to the Registry of Registries
Standards:
- Continue work on VODataService 1.2, especially regarding MOCs in the registry
- Explore registration for HiPS nodes
- "Caproles" revisions: collaborate with DAL on TAPRegExt revisions, make supporting changes in base Registry standards as required
Semantics WG
In Semantics, we will push ahead Vocabularies in the VO 2.0, aiming for RFC around the Granada interop. We believe the document now is essentially sound, and so the main challenge will be to gain sufficient implemenation uptake. We will try to engage authors of VOTable and VOResource validators, to extend the pyVO datalink client to take into account the term hierarchy, and to perhaps provide an ADQL user defined function that will allow the use of simple semantics in query expansion.
We will also work with the Registry WG on resolving the open question of what "use the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus" means for VOResource 1.1, aming for an Erratum to VOResource and perhaps some sort of agreement between the operators of RegTAP services on how to speed up the adoption of UAT use in the Registry.
Our ongoing activities include assistence in producing Vocabularies 2-style vocabulary enhancement proposals and moderating discussions, and maintaining the UCD controlled vocabulary.
Data Curation Preservation IG
Education IG
- IAU 367: Education and Heritage in the Era of Big Data in Astronomy
- Release of the ESASky in Chinese
Knowledge Discovery IG
Operations IG
- Service monitoring:
- PADC, Euro-VO to continue bulk validation/monitoring, present weather reports at next Interop
- Follow up common/persistent validation failures, consider whether Errata/changes are required to standards
- Validator curation:
- Monitor availability of validator software for existing and new standards and versions (IvoaValidatorsSummary)
- Keep an eye on Science Platform operational issues
- Provide a forum for discussion of operational issues at and between interops
Radio IG
- 2nd telecon planned for Sept/Oct (following first one in eary July) to discuss an implementation note for radio data in the VO, a possible VO workshop for software developers from radio astronomy archives, and common needs of the various types of radio data in the VO environment (visibility data, single dish data, pulsar observations etc...Obviously one of these common needs is related to provenance).
- K. Lutz (CDS) is leading a proposal for a radio data BoF session at ADASS.
Solar System IG
- Publish EPN-TAP working draft
Theory IG
Time Domain
- ConeSearch-1.1: see DAL
- TimeSeries: Need to make few modifications in particular to relax a parameter (optional instead of mandatory). Get it promoted to an endorsed note and hosted in the ivoa-std repository.
- ST-MOC next steps: working on the draft towards std -> should be exposed sometime before next interop.
- VOEvent: Navigate Baptiste's changes to VOEvent through the review process and get it accepted as a new version.
