IVOA Operations Interest Group

Overview

Organisation

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

See also the Operations IG Charter.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

List of Validation Software

The Operations IG maintains a list of available validation software is indexed by the IVOA standard whose content they check, on the wiki page IvoaValidatorsSummary. This list is usually reviewed at six-monthly Interop meetings, but if you have updates you can edit the wiki page directly.

Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Identifying Client/Server software: SoftID

Ops IG is considering best practice for client and server software to report its identity and purpose to components with which is is interacting (User-Agent and Server HTTP headers). For more information see page SoftID.

Operations sessions

  • General discussion of operational issues of VO services
  • Monitoring and validation reviews of VO services
  • Development and deployment of validation services
  • Discussion of operational best practice in VO service deployment and operations.

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities.

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

List of Validation Software

The Operations IG maintains a list of available validation software is indexed by the IVOA standard whose content they check, on the wiki page IvoaValidatorsSummary. This list is usually reviewed at six-monthly Interop meetings, but if you have updates you can edit the wiki page directly.

Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Identifying Client/Server software: SoftID

Ops IG is considering best practice for client and server software to report its identity and purpose to components with which is is interacting (User-Agent and Server HTTP headers). For more information see page SoftID.

Operations sessions

  • General discussion of operational issues of VO services
  • Monitoring and validation reviews of VO services
  • Development and deployment of validation services
  • Discussion of operational best practice in VO service deployment and operations.

IVOA Operations Interest Group

Overview

Organisation

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

See also the Operations IG Charter.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

See also the Operations IG Charter.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Operations Projects

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

List of Validation Software

The Operations IG maintains a list of available validation software is indexed by the IVOA standard whose content they check, on the wiki page IvoaValidatorsSummary. This list is usually reviewed at six-monthly Interop meetings, but if you have updates you can edit the wiki page directly.

Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Identifying Client/Server software: SoftID

Ops IG is considering best practice for client and server software to report its identity and purpose to components with which is is interacting (User-Agent and Server HTTP headers). For more information see page SoftID.

Operations sessions

  • General discussion of operational issues of VO services
  • Monitoring and validation reviews of VO services
  • Development and deployment of validation services
  • Discussion of operational best practice in VO service deployment and operations.

Following discussions at Interops (Mark in College Park, Markus in Groningen) we are considering recommendations for best practice in use of the HTTP User-Agent and Server headers so that clients (especially "operational-mode" clients such as validators) and servers can be identified by other software they are interacting with. This was initially codified on the UserAgentUsage page, but is now being considered as a draft IVOA Note edited by Markus Demleitner. This document currently lives at https://github.com/msdemlei/softid.

IVOA Operations Interest Group

Overview

Organisation

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

See also the Operations IG Charter.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

In some circumstances it is useful for a client (espeically an operational client such as a validator) to know what server software (e.g. VO publication suite) is running at a service it is using. Following Markus's talk in Groningen (Oct 2019) we are investigating use of the HTTP Server header for this purpose; if that doesn't work we might look at another convention such as a new VO-Server header or similar.

Federated Validation Services

The following links are to reports from services that perform bulk validation on a regular basis of all registered services of particular types (SCS, SIA, SSA, TAP, ...). If you are the operator of a registered service, you can (and should!) go here to see whether your service is passing the validation tests.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

List of Validation Software

The Operations IG maintains a list of available validation software is indexed by the IVOA standard whose content they check, on the wiki page IvoaValidatorsSummary. This list is usually reviewed at six-monthly Interop meetings, but if you have updates you can edit the wiki page directly.

Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Identifying Operational Clients

The wiki page UserAgentUsage discusses best practice for use of the HTTP User-Agent header to identify clients involved in operations-related (as opposed to end-user) service queries. At time of writing (11/2018) this is work in progress. It might turn into a Note at some point.

Identifying Server Software

In some circumstances it is useful for a client (espeically an operational client such as a validator) to know what server software (e.g. VO publication suite) is running at a service it is using. Following Markus's talk in Groningen (Oct 2019) we are investigating use of the HTTP Server header for this purpose; if that doesn't work we might look at another convention such as a new VO-Server header or similar.

IVOA Operations Interest Group Charter

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

NCSA/HEASARC Validation tests (Conesearch and SIA)

VO Paris Validation Test

ESA Validation Tests

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

IVOA Operations Interest Group Charter

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

Operations Projects

Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

NCSA/HEASARC Validation tests (Conesearch and SIA)

VO Paris Validation Test

ESA Validation Tests

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

Identifying Operational Clients

The wiki page UserAgentUsage discusses best practice for use of the HTTP User-Agent header to identify clients involved in operations-related (as opposed to end-user) service queries. At time of writing (11/2018) this is work in progress. It might turn into a Note at some point.

A revised procedure was adoped by the IVOA in October 2016.

Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

NCSA/HEASARC Validation tests (Conesearch and SIA)

VO Paris Validation Test

ESA Validation Tests

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

Analysis of the results from these documents suggests that the validators are making somewhat different queries and that any given validator is only testing a subset of all poassible errors. Negative results regarding a service are generally valid. In principle a service should pass all validators.

IVOA Operations Interest Group Charter

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

IVOA Operations Interest Group


Chair: Tom McGlynn
Vice Chair: Mark Taylor

IVOA Operations Interest Group Charter

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.

[June 2015] Procedure for Removing Non-Responsive Services

VO-Paris has presented a plan for a process for removing non-responsive services from the Registry which was presented to the Exec and discussed in the Interest Group. A revised version will be provided.

[June 2015] Coordination of VO validation services

It was agreed that the three sites that are currently collecting validation statistics will try to coordinate their activities. The first step is to provide a standard set of identifiers for issues so that results from the validators can be compared. This will allow us to compare the validator results and 'validate' the validators.

NCSA/HEASARC Validation tests (Conesearch and SIA)

VO Paris Validation Test

ESA Validation Tests

Data from these documents has been combined into the following documents:

These documents suggest a standard approach for identifying validation tests that we may wish to develop into a white paper.

IVOA Operations Interest Group Charter

Goal of the IVOA Operations Interest Group

Coordinate and publicize activities of individuals, institutions and groups interested in facilitating robust operations of distributed astronomy applications, particularly those based upon implementations of IVOA protocols.

Specific responsibilities

  1. Publicize existing forums and encourage new ones for monitoring services, notifications, discussions and questions regarding “real-time” operations of VO / distributed services.
  2. Promote discussion within the IVOA on standards and practices that would increase the reliability of VO implementations.
  3. Develop nominal implementation strategies for VO services as guides to best practice in the operational use of VO protocols.
  4. Periodically provide reports to the IVOA executive and WGs summarizing availability, quality and usage statistics for distributed services and VO protocols.
  5. During the IVOA standards review process, assess the validation capabilities that are now required as part of new standards.
