+ TAP 1.1 : + Little extension of RFC (new PR). Will finish soon.

+ ADQL 2.1 : + Some revision and 1 implementation before going to RFC.

+ SLAP 2.0 : + Implementation to be published. More comments needed.

+ DALI-next : + Discussion page settled. Please contribute!!!

+ OLAP (observatory locator access protocol) : + note promoted to WD

+ OVAP (object visibility access protocol) : + Note promoted to WD

+ ProvTAP and ProvSAP (ex ProvDAL°) : + internal draft promoted to WD. Implementation of ProvTAP durring summer

+ DataLink : + Discussion page. Implementation note. DataLink1.1 spec to be started

+ SIAV2.1 + Mak a start

+ SODA + more implementation needed

<div id="_mcePaste">* Completion of the Group Membership Service (GMS) working draft</div> <div id="_mcePaste">* Publication of the UWSRegExt 1.0 Node and XSD</div> <div id="_mcePaste">* Encourage working group to collaborate on Science Platform development</div> <div id="_mcePaste">* Continue with GWS telecons</div>

---++ [[IvoaResReg][Registry WG]]

RegTAP 1.1, includig new VOResource 1.1 features, can now go through RFC; prototype implementations exist at GAVO and partially at ESAVO, and are planned at MAST (USVAO). The main change is in describing services requiring authentication, which will eventually require changes in some client queries to RegTAP services if these become more common. <br /> <br /> STC in the Registry: Work in prototypes will continue based on a recent STC in the Registry note introducing the concept of MOCs in the registry.<br /> <br /> Discovering Dependent Resources: A note in progress addresses the problem of discovering data collections that are published through other services, the prime use case so far being TAP tables. A path forward involving creating a new registry extension allowing both tables and capabilities was discussed in Victoria, this work will be continued and prototypes developed.<br /> <br /> Standards records: We will continue to work with the chairs of the other IVOA working groups to ensure that they register their standards as envisioned by StandardsRegExt (cf. WriteAStandardsRecord). <br /> <br /> Maintenance: We will keep making sure the registry system runs; in particular, we will address anomalies diagnosed by ESAVO especially including inconsistencies in the Registry of Registries.

<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">Organisation of the Vocabulary repository </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> _By nov 2018_ </span>

*Nomenclature for names for Observatories, instruments, missions.*

Collaboration Baptiste Cecconi (Lesia, Paris) - University of Graz - <span style="background-color: transparent;">Fuzzy logic tools applied to instruments telescopes list cross match . Description of Space missions from Vespa</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">General thesaurus building to be continued with ADS, AAS, astronomical journals, librarians and documentalists involved.</span>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Design of a metadata description based on the reuse of the PDS 4 Information model to categorize the various items. </span> _By nov 2018_
---++ [[IvoaDCP][Data Curation & Preservation IG]]

The Data Curation & Preservation IG will continue to be the place where liaison between the IVOA and the Research Data Alliance RDA is established, with regular discussion of RDA activities, their relevance to the IVOA, and the IVOA activities relevant to the RDA (eg Provenance). This is a standing item for the IG session at each IVOA Interoperability meeting. The IG also hosts discussions on other topics of interest for Data Curation & Preservation. DOIs have been one of the important topics addressed in the past. It is proposed to have it as a topic again for the next <nop>DataCP meeting in November 2018, to discuss requirements, implementation, lessons learnt, granularity, etc.
