IVOA Roadmap for 2023A

This outlines the roadmap for development activities by the various IVOA working and interest groups between the May 2023 and Nov 2023 Interops.

Applications WG

Data Access Layer WG

Primary:
ADQL

• 2.1 RFC - complete and get to REC
• 2.2 - PEG, INTERVAL support, MOC support, Array support, string functions, OFFSET

• RFC open - complete and get to REC

• PRec + RFC mid 2023

• User managed persistent tables
• Experiment with Open API spec for these changes

• RESPONSEFORMAT, MAXREC
• Allow services to reject unknown parameters
• Modernize required UCDs (UCD 1.0-> UCD 1+)
• PRec by next interop

• Proceed with renaming, expansion of supported data product types

• return extended metadata
• New transformation types

• Client and server implementations progressing
• Raise PRec once implementations ready

• Examine renaming to avoid radio confusion
• Restart effort to complete the standard and get to PRec

• Issue errata for minor issues already noted in github

• Can functions be reconciled between GAVO and OAJ?

• Continuing work towards mature WD status

• Continue development on Observation Facility Codes
• Get some prototype planetary reference frames incorporated into the Reference Frames vocabulary
  • This tutorial explains how the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) software defines (and uses) reference frames and coordinate systems: NAIF Frames and Coordinate Systems Tutorial
  • The list of IAU defined body-fixed frames is included in the NAIF software documentation on frames, as an appendix: direct link to "frames.html" second appendix
• Ensure convergence of the EPN-TAP dataproduct_type with the Data Product Type vocabulary.
• Support PDS/SBN efforts to exercise EPN-TAP and planetary additions to related protocols by implementing IVOA services on small data sets from several different planetary disciplines.
