Notes About Individual Agenda Items

MD: IVOA meeting conclusions

JMD: VO Data Models: status

boston meeting goals were: compare existing models ... ... compliant data model: first: to write the concept one wants to describe second: UML or equivalent based model third: convert UML to XMI or equiv. and verify model schema satisfies VO DM standards (see below) fourth(optional): provide a reference XSD schema and XML instance examples. IVOA InterOp. group can adopt model as a recommended VO model for the given concept.

Conforming IVOA Data Models unique URI unique name version description curation metadata url for white paper class descriptions: - name and description - attributes, name,type,quantity,cardinality,defaults, units? - properties - methods

bandpass methods and attributes effective lambda min and max lambda/freq/energy/wave numbers transmission curve (add or multiply?) theoretical transmission curves (also as function of time, temperature)

uncertainties on each number! quality object (non numerical description)

problems: red leaks, periodic filters, wedge and band stop (notch) filters multiple filters atmospheric transmission ?

bandpass attributes - name, generic name, waveband name - central and end wavelengths - measured ot theoretical transmission function what about zeropoints ?

bandpass classes NOT DISCUSSED

Wavelength/Frequency model Wavelength 512.02 nm

or

512.02

(#PC: 512.02?)

What is an image? - sparse (with bad pixel map) is ok - must have regular pixellated array - must have pixels with scalar simple data types (int, real, complex, char?) - can have n dimensions, n arbitrary

aggregation better than inheritance (HAS-A instead of IS-A)

what is data, hypermaps, images, tables, documents, code, plots, links, etc)

ML: open discussion - reduction pipelines - data quality - hierarchy/granularity in metadata - versioning

CDS FB, A.Oberto, et al LSIIT ML, C.Collet IAP, PD, Y.Mellier, E.Bertin QUB: F.Murtagh

images in astronomy A. metadata definition for image sets in diverse arch. B. multicolor image analysis for obj. recognition and cross identification

Goal: provide a mode for astronomical image data http://alinda.u-strasbg.fr/IDHA/datamodel.html

Granularity: BV? better having XSLTs onto your XML DM ?


Day 2

FB: How data model + votable was used in AVO GOODS demo Bonnarel, Louys, Boch, Fernique, Schaaf, Derriere, Ochsenbein

from datamodel to xml - visions of data model must be translated in documents for describing metadata (different scenarii for different users/applications) - xml good for exchanging

- votable or some other dtd ? -> votable because already accepted - how to code a Tree (partial view of a DM) into a table oriented DTD ? - chance: definition of VOTable RESOURCE is recursive (1->n links) - each class of the model is defined as a RESOURCE (fixed name, no ID in order to allow multi-occurance), with a specific table part

- children classes as nested resources ?JMD: how to link a filter in the Observing_group table to the filter given in the filter resource ? (GOODS image server has more functionalities than public aladin; public aladin will inherit those, but not before summer)

- SIAP is flat, no hierarchy, output = single table

JMD: Chandra pipeline


chandra -> telemetry -> fits files with mnemonics (Level 0) Level 1: takes level 0 data -> calibrated scientific file Events ASOL (Aspecs solution, geometry vs time ra,dec,roll(t)), spacecraft attitude, bending of telescope tube, (1 arcsec within an observation!) HK, temperature, radiation environment, etc -> ra, dec for all photons,

between level 1 and 2: observation can be split up -> level two combines them typical exptime: 50ksec to 100ksec (some 1ksec, some 1Msec) level 2 removes garbage: L2 data is just a starting point used by naive users, experts will go back to L1 L1->L2 pipeline is publicly available

L3 pipeline (not yet in place): to generate uniform source catalogs, etc

L2 event list (EVT) -> binned on the fly to provide an image of requested resolution/size

dmcopy evt2.fits[energy=2000,5500][time=from,to][bin x=3000:4000:4,y=...] produces the requested image.

AM: HST pipeline ...


MD: IVOA Data Modeling Standardisation WG

Forum: dm@ivoa.net

Lead: Jonathan McDowell (CfA) Members: Alberto Micol (ST-ECF), Mireille Louys (CDS), ?Dave Giarretta (ASTROGRID)?, ? someone else ?

Remarks (scope, goal, ...)

for events 2003 see Avo:AvoEvents

us-vo Nashville, June aas meeting (but sidney ...) NVO team meeting, ?, March, status reports

Meeting adjourned. Splinter discussions followed on: - a possible model for a distributed Aladin, to access both data and metadata directly from the VO data centres, without the need of storing them in the Aladin server. - UCD discussion - a possible design for a Data Model suitable for an ASTROVIRTEL Exposure-Time-Calculator-based archive search engine. Version 0.2 will be drafted and sent to participants.
