The Solar System Interest Group (SSIG) will aim at reviewing IVOA standards in the scope of Solar System sciences. The SSIG will work with all IVOA working groups to review, assess and propose IVOA standard adjustments for Solar System sciences. The standard assessments, reviews and potential evolutions will be proposed to relevant working groups keeping in mind two main ideas:
re-use of IVOA standards with as little changes as possible
modifications with a topical scope as wide as possible
