| Grid and Web Services WG
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:
- VODataService 1.2 through PR
- SimpleDALRegExt 1.2: make PR, identify roadblocks with SSAP time series and work on additional reference implementations as required
Semantics WG
We will move Vocabularies in the VO 2 to PR in early January, followed by RFC. Probably in parallel, we will hold an RFC for the related PEN on the adoption of the UAT.
Together with Registry, we will then try to work out what needs to be done in terms of updates to VOResource 1.1 in order to clarify the use of the UAT in the Registry; at this point, we believe a largely explanatory erratum should do.
We will continue to maintain the vocabulary repository with possible RFCs; in particular, we expect the vocabularies on messengers and on data product types to move ahead with the definining standards (VODataService 1.2 and SimpleDALRegExt, respectively).
We would still like to move ahead with a vocabulary of object types, although no concrete plans exist at this point.

- Tackle service validation failures:
- Target: significantly improve service compliance reports compiled by Euro-VO/PADC by May 2021 Interop
- Involve: validator operators + authors, service operators + authors
- Joint activity with DAL
- Continuing activities:
- Monitor VO health
- Curate list of validation tools (especially for new/revised standards)
- Provide forum for discussion of operational activities
- Participate in and give feedback on standards development in support of upcoming operational missions
