| *Speaker* | *Title* | *Time* | *Material* |
| Henrik Norman | <p> *Improving the data access services in the VO ecosystem (Euro-VO Weather Report)* </p> <p>In an ongoing push to improve the data access services in the VO ecosystem, I’ve contacted more than 50 data providers and asked them to address specific issues with their services. The VO community has answered and is improving its services at an unprecedented rate. I will present the status of this effort and the overall health of the VO ecosystem.</p> | 15'+5' | |
| Anastasia Laity | <p> *IRSA VO accomplishments in 2025 - and what's next?* </p> <p>In 2025, IRSA developed tools to support Euclid QR1 and SPHEREx weekly quick releases utilizing VO protocols and models. We also released a beta version of ObsTAP, serving a subset of our available data collections and utilizing our new DataLink service. We'll discuss what went well and what posed challenges, as well as what's planned for 2026.</p> | 7'+2' | |
| Rach Bhatawdekar | <p> *ESDC Statistics and LLM Crawlers* </p> <p>The talk will provide an overview of usage statistics for ESA’s archive services, highlighting patterns observed in automated access, including activity likely associated with LLM-driven crawlers, and open a discussion on these trends with the community.</p> | 15'+5' | |
| Tamara Civera | <p> *Managing automated access: Experience from Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ)* </p> <p>The Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ) provides open astronomical data services that may be accessed by both human and automated clients. Managing this activity requires balancing accessibility with protection to ensure service reliability. This talk presents OAJ’s experience managing automated access and highlights the importance of community collaboration and adaptive security strategies.</p> | 5'+2' | |
| Gilles Landais | <p> *(TBD) Experiences in the CDS managing increasing load due to automated client activity (e.g. IA crawlers, bots, ...)* </p> <p> </p> | 7'+2' | |
