*Notes:*

Validation Tools Presentation was postponed to the Thursday session (see [[http://www.ivoa.net/forum/interop/0911/0657.htm][announcement]]).  

Interoperability Issues:
Theresa presented several specific issues to introduce the general issues (see slides):
   * resource records:  Non-standard dates
   * Invalid data service access URLs: missing trailing & or ?  
      * Jonathan Fay: while long-standing problem, is extremely mysterious and frustrating to the non-cognizant app developers
      * Guy: VOSI should help
      * Mike:  have seen an erroneous mix of & and &amp;
      * Guy/Matthew:  
      * Theresa: !RofR needs to check for  !AccessURL &
      * Mark:  more concerned with problems I can't fix or detect

   * Fixing the problem:  contact the publishing registry and/vs. original publisher
      * What can a publishing registry provider fix w/out publisher in the loop? 
         *  obvious spelling
         *  namespace problems
         *  XML syntatic errors (incl. accessURL)
         *  breaking up subject entries
      * what requires involvement of original publisher?
         *  rewording
         *  deleted records/inactive services
         *  Ray:  Suggested process for handling consistently non-responding services:
            1.  registry provider sends email to publisher to find out if service still maintained.  
            2.  if no response, provider may change status to "inactive".

Ray:  Can publishing registry providers agree to response promptly to problem reports of the first kind?

Pierre:  sample XML records would go along way %BR%
Ray: Great thing to include into RegistryGuide

Sebastien:  has been experimenting with ontologies and keyword search; can move up or down in the ont. tree.  Also experimenting with indexing records with canonical object names.
