Registry

Registry is finalising the RegTAP PR after TCG review. RegTAP itself depends on a correction of DAL's TAPRegExt standard, for which we drafted an Erratum intended to serve as a test case for the new Erratum process.

Futher activity went into figuring out a good way to register data collection in a way that their modes of access are easily discoverable; the conventional way via relationships has shown hard to support by clients. We are now trying out an approach based on special, "auxiliary" standard identifiers crafted in a way that clients can easily switch between "primary services only" and "all resources with matching metadata".

Members of the Registry WG have jointly produced two review-type articles on the Registry for the Astronomy&Computing special issues.
