Coordination of VO validation servicesIt 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 ClientsThe wiki page UserAgentUsage discusses best practice for use of the HTTPUser-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.
