---+++ France VO 

No report was posted on the FM23 web page. This report summarizes France-VO activities since TM22 (8 March 2007).

(1) France-VO supported French participants to the several
international meetings, from its own funds, in complement to funding by
the laboratories, or by evaluating funding requests made
in the frame of the French participation to the
Euro-VO Data Centre Alliance project. 

French teams very actively participated in the Beijing 
Interoperability meeting (18 French participants), with
talks presented in particular in the Applications, Data Access Layer,
Data Modeling, Semantics and VO Query Language WG
sessions, and at the Theory IG meeting.

There was also an active French participation to the two Workshops 
organised by the Euro-VO Data Centre Alliance and Facility Centre.
The 'Astronomical spectroscopy and the Virtual Observatory'
Workshop (ESAC, 21-23 March 2007) was well attended by 
scientists interested in spectroscopy and French VO teams (22
participants from French laboratories), thanks in particular to the
triggering activity of the France-VO Spectroscopy Working Group 
at the national level. In addition, several laboratories
developing or willing to develop VO services were represented
at the 'Euro-VO Workshop on how to publish data in the VO',
and three sessions were organised by CDS staff.

(2) Meetings organised by the France-VO (AS OV) Working Groups since
February 2007:

   * Geodetics and Fundamental Astronomy Working Group: meeting on UCDs and STC, Paris Observatory, 19 February 2006 ([[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/GROUPEStravail/Geodesie/ucd.doc][meeting minutes, in French]]). Also note the poster presented at the IUGG 2007 conference in Perugia: [[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/pub/Exposes/WebHome/poster_ov_iugg2007-1.pdf]['GGOS and Virtual Observatory']] (Berio, Coulot, Deleflie & Exertier).

   * The Workflow Working Group held its 4th meeting on 26 April 2007 at the IAP in Paris ([[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/GROUPEStravail/WorkflowReunion4][meeting Web page]] and [[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/GROUPEStravail/CR4][meeting summary]] , in English).

   * Theory Working Group: a Workshop was organised in Lyon on June 18-19, with participation from several teams preparing theory services to be published in the VO, and from Gerard Lemson, Chair of the IVOA Theory Working Group and of the Theory Expert Group of the <nop>EuroVO-DCA project. The meeting Web page (in English) can be found at [[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/GROUPEStravail/ObsVTheorie07jun18]].

(3) Presentation to the general astronomy community

   * [[http://www.france-vo.org/twiki/pub/Exposes/WebHome/asovSF2A2007.pdf][Presentation]] of the VO project status and of services made available by the French VO teams at the [[http://sf2a2007.obs.ujf-grenoble.fr/][annual meeting]] of the French astronomical society (pdf version, mostly in French).
   * Staff from France-VO plan to participate in the JENAM 2007 meeting (Yerevan, August 2007) and in a Workshop organized by the Indian VO in October 2007.

Please see our previous report at http://ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaExecMeetingFM23#NVO.  The only addition at this point is that we are working with NSF and NASA to secure funding for FY08, and things look promising at the moment.

DCP IG Chair Hanisch polled the interop e-mail list on 27 June to see how many people were interested in this IG.  18 responses were received, which is a sufficiently high level to warrant planning for an IG session at the September Interop meeting in Cambridge.  Data preservation is also a key topic for the ADASS conference that immediately precedes the Interop.
