HEASARC:

At the HEASARC, VO access to INTEGRAL spectral data will shortly be released. For the first time, a combined scorecard for all VO sites including the measurement of uptime, validation results for data interfaces, and validation of the sites published metadata has been sent to the IVOA meeting.

SAO:

Chandra Data in ESASky: We’ve been coordinating with the the team from ESASky and notified Chandra Users in March that footprints and links to Chandra data and the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC), version 1.1, can now be queried in ESASky (http://sky.esa.int). Further work to include HIPs is underway. Sample HIPs data has been shared and reviewed. Plan to build Chandra HIPs files on and end of year timeframe.
A review and upgrade of Chandra's VO interfaces has recently been concluded to use the latest IVOA standards. An Archive release with the updated interfaces is planned for early June.
Iris 3.0 was released in March 2017. Iris has undergone a full overhaul on the Visualizer, Metadata Browser, and Fitting Tool. The Visualizer and Metadata Browser now use STILTS -- the same library that powers TOPCAT -- as their backend. High-resoultion spectra can now be plotted. The Fitting Tool encapsulates the models, parameter values, fitting options, and fit statistics in one window.

UCD: New terms added to the UCD tree. Update of the UCD v1.3 working draft .

Comments and tests welcome.
A revision of the CDS assigning tool is ready.
Solar and Planetary Data Interest Group will propose new requirements. Discussed at the Semantics session at this Interop meeting (Shanghai).

VO Theory vocabulary:

Revision of the access to the vocabulary.
purl.org links are no longer supported so VO Paris is now supporting the distribution of the skos concepts in this.
requires to be corrected in the Simulation Datamodel for accessing the SKOS concepts of model instances.
