Meeting Agenda/Notes
- Status Updates - Prototypes - aiming for mid Sep
- Josh (UWS, TAP 1.1)
- UWS prototype nearly complete - published on ST Github
- No integration with a MAST service yet
- Suggests an example document set with a specific implementation
- Wanted to connect to TAP but hit Integ issues - will pursue in print scheduled for next 2 weeks
- Questions
- Janet: Will you be moving the prototype to the IVOA github repo?
- Answer: will be pushing to pypi, maybe IVOA later
- Pat: Am I referencing the right FastAPI UWS repo?
- Gregory: Does the pypi UWS library have backwards compatibility/legacy support?
- Russ: A legacy UWS pypi exists already and can perhaps be merged with the new one…
- Russ ( SODA, UWS)
- Have been working on getting the legacy UWS packaged up. Will start with the OpenAPI additions next.
- Created 3 documents that are layered. Sent to the mailing list.
- Next step: will be adding UWS
- Need to improve the data types so that they reference VOSI, etc
- Will be implementing the serialization layer next
- Questions
- Pat (TAP 1.2, UWS, VOSI)
- Working on OpenAPI on TAP 1.2
- Started VOSI /tables OpenAPI description
- Hope to pull in the UWS spec and re-use it, and assemble the whole service API together - PAH - this is much less DRY than desireable (at least I could not find a satisfying solution) - e.g. see https://stackoverflow.com/a/75795907/10862023
- Needs to figure out how to import the YAML file
- WIll be working on this over next 2 weeks
- Dave (Execution Broker)
- API has been simplified, but data model has become more complex
- On track to publish the OpenAPI doc and updated specification sometime in October
- Found something interesting about error messages and handling:
- IVOA Document
- Russ on the layer document exercise (in the p3t mailing list)
- Point was to provide and example on an encoding format, Next step is UWS part
- Questions:
- Brian: What is the vision for the future of types?
- Russ: OpenAPI and JSON not specific/detailed enough for our use
- Need to figure out types - are data model and network encoding types shared?
- Dave: OpenAPI types have been working for me (so far) and are extensible.
- Gregory: IVOA is missing an unsigned 64 bit integer type, which is being used more and more frequently. This is just a heads up for those looking at type standardization.
- Russ: Not sure if OpenAPI can handle 64-bit int because (for example) JSON doesn't support that. Probably needs an extension.
- Jesus: Need to flag issues (such as the 64-bit type problem) somewhere.
- Jesus: How is OpenAPI referenced/linked from UWS implementation?
- Josh: Can be more clear. Was a result of the auto-generation.
- Looking ahead to the Nov Interop
- Janet: When should we be engaging clients ahead of the Nov interop?
- Jesus: Perhaps a validator is the best we can do in this time frame
- Brian: Agree, and can be used as a neutral test
- Dave: Should be reaching out and asking what specific concerns they have?
- Gregory: Think that some communication with client implementers is needed
- Josh: Perhaps present it as a "what do you need' question
- Janet: Have clients engaged in plan
- Russ: In post May Interop emails most concerns were about interoperability. We haven't figured out the particular situations yet.
- Marco: Details are important but not as important as the engagement
- Pat: The plan of interoperability needs to be more than "you must deal with this new version". Question of what's the best way to deal with that must be raised.
- Gregory: How can clients deal with this new (unscoped) work?
- Brian: wrap up this thread:
- We must involve clients with our plans
- But we can probably only expect to get so far ahead of the interop
- Engaging with the clients will be a topic at the next mtg once we're a little further along
- Dave: Lessons learned from auto-generation
- The more complicated the model, the less well the auto-generators work
- Java working well
- Python not so well
- But still thinks OpenAPI is promising, as it's a machine readable spec.
- Plan on presenting this in the GWS session
- Next meeting:
- Sept 23rd @20:00 UTC - will discuss how to engage clients
