This outlines the roadmap for development activities by the various IVOA working and interest groups in 2016/17 between the Trieste and Shanghai Interops.

Applications

Data Access Layer

Data Model

Grid and Web Sevices

During the interop in Trieste, the Grid and Web Services working group came to an agreement to support a standard means of authorization through group membership. Such a standard will enable interoperable authorization among IVOA services. It is to be determined whether a note documenting the endorsement and use of an external stardard, or an IVOA standard itself is the best way to incorporate group authorization into the IVOA. A draft of such a proposal will be presented in Shanghai.

A new VOSpace 2.1 Working Draft to be ready before Shanghai. As per the discussions in the first GWS Trieste session, it will include mention of the Public Share Protocol. This protocol may be use to obtain long-lived URLs for publishing papers and DOIs.

"Code to data" was a topic of much discussion in Trieste. The GWS working group would like to pair with the DAL working group to work on a simple IVOA approach on processing data using client submitted code.

Grid and Web Services Standards statuses:

• The SSO 2.0 final Proposed Recommendation will go to Exec by the end of 2016.
• The VOSI 1.1 final Proposed Recommendation will go to Exec by the end of 2016.
