Registry Work Package 02 (Rwp02): Requirements, Science Cases, Use Cases, Test Cases
Contents:
Introduction
This work package was initiated at the Registry Kickoff Meeting
(Registry19032003) 19-20 March. Discussion on this work package
being held on the mailing list at
http://www.ivoa.net/forum/registry/
(
registry@ivoa.net)

Scope of Work Package
1. Identify Key Science Cases to be used as drivers for
defining registry requirements. These should be
illustrative of the range of requests that may be
sent to a regsistry.
2. Describe a set of Use Cases, which are representative
of envisaged registry usage, and include the use cases
required to execute the Key Science Cases.
3. Define a set of actual queries against which registry
implementations may be tested.
4. Requirements. Make a set of requirements which are
necessary to be able to execute the Use Cases, and will
be useful in actual development of registries.
Working Plan
- Define Scope draft v0.1 11 April
- Key Science Cases draft v0.1 11 April
- Use Cases draft v0.1 25 April
- Requirements draft v0.1 09 May
(Cambridge Meeting May 12-16)
- Requirements drafts v0.2 28 June

Key Science Cases v0.1 April 11, 2003
Key Science Cases for Registries.
v0.1 April 11, 2003.
A goal of RWP02 is to identify Key Science Cases to be used
as drivers for defining registry requirements. These should be
illustrative of the range of requests that may be sent to a
registry.
Following a review of the current science cases across the
various VO initiatives, a 1st draft set of science cases has been
selected.
A call for further science cases, and discussion of
other aspects of science cases with respect to registries has
been issued to the Registry mailing list.
Selected Science Cases:
1.
AstroGrid: Brown Dwarf Selection
NVO: Select Dwarf Galaxies by Colour for Observational Follow-up
Chosen as representative of parameter constrained catalog search
scenarios.
2.
AstroGrid: Deep Field Surveys
Chosen as representative of a data search scenario, with use of
coverage (spatial and temporal) constraints.
3.
NVO: Gamma Ray Burst +
Chosen because NVO is planning registry specific developments
for this science case to turn their GRB demo into a more
general "show me the sky" tool
4.
NVO: Find Super Novae Pre-Burst Observation
Chosen as representative of 'find all data at this point'
type scenarios. (Perhaps this is the same as the GRB general tool)
5.
AstroVirtel: Luminosity functions of Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
Chosen because of detailed requirements for registry
functions.
