Ideas and requests listed here

• So many DAL servcies for SED Science Case!
  • Goal: Discuss and determine the necessity and practicality of having 3 different DAL services - 1 revised and 2 new ones - for this set of use cases. Wednesday at 16:30? -- PatrickDowler

• STC-S Support
  • Goal: Develop a BNF (or equivalent) that can be used to develop software that can parse and write STC-S descriptions of regions
  • Comment: The STC Java library is on the schedule for Year 1 of the VAO at CfA. This will include STC-S parsing. Delivery date may be negotiable. I can show prototype GUI. -- ArnoldRots - 17 May 2011

• Photometry data modeling: 16:30 Room ?? merge with DAL SED??
  • how can we identify the various use-cases covered by the different proposed DMs : PhotDMv1-1, SpectrumDM-v1.2, SED DM
  • how can we go from simple spectrum to avanced data product like uniform SED?( SED DM)
  • how can we identify the various types of serialisations these DM are producing
  • tools to consume these various types of products

• A joint synthetic spectra / spectral fitting meeting will take place on Wednesday (18/May/2011) in Room B at 16:15
  • A usecase for (synthetic) stellar spectra within the VO (Wednesday afternoon, time and place TBD)
    • Goal: Fit an observed spectrum with a synthetic spectrum to extract information on rotation
  • Full spectrum fitting UWS demo (Wednesday afternoon, 16:30 place TBD - with projector)
    • Extended version of the demo from the DM3 session by IgorChilingarian and the follow-up discussion on the scientific usage of UWS (workflows, automatic interface generation from WADL etc.)
