IVOA Interoperability Meeting

6-7 Oct 2005: ESAC, Madrid, Spain

Theory Session Thurs 16:45-18:30 LAEFF

Outline/agenda

The goal of the meeting is to review the use cases that have been submitted since the Kyoto meeting and to start the process of extracting requirements for the WGs.

The use cases that have been posted (see list) will be introduced by the writers or representatives:

• Enrique Solano
• Nic Walton (for Laurie Shaw)
• Franck Le Petit
• Dave De Young
• Gerard Lemson

We will then discuss how to proceed and start extracting requirements. The following issues (and likely more) must be addressed:

• Extraction of requirements and matching to working groups and available standards (investigation of available standards and support)
• Prioritization (on what timescale do we need and can we expect support ?
• Communication to WGs (how/who ? documents ? IVOA exec ?)
• Allocation of tasks to define the required standards
• Implementation/adaptation of services according to standards
