• Discuss current state of Obscore work and priority for HEIG, here's a shot at it ...
  • Registry and where it belongs in the scheme of things wrt Obscore
    • We discussed that core keywords to Obscore would go in the Obscore standard and managed by DM; that information on the registry and access would be directed to DAL; and that extensions unique to a waveband would be managed by the IGs in possibly an Endorsed Note.
  • Review HE drafty Obscore table
    • Ian stepped through the table he organized; he emphasized that queries made by scientists needed to be straight forward for them to use the VO and benefit from this work
  • Review of Radio extension and overlap with keywords of interest to HE
    • Bruno stepped through the Radio Draft document (#2 above) and highlighted the many overlaps with keywords of interest to HESS and HE data.
• Next steps:
  • Compare the Radio extension(#2 above) to the HE working doc (#5 above). Does it add to the doc we have so far?
  • Write up the HE working table (#5 above) to be more definitive so folks can review and comment. In the form of a Note. Identify Core Obscore keywords and HE extension keywords. Have this doc ready for the Baltimore Interop.
  • Prepare with DM/DAL and plan a way forward at the next Interop. Is it a session, plenary, or pre-Interop meeting day on this topic??
• AOB
• Next Mtg:
