Session Topics - emails in last few weeks

• Steve Hughes (from JPL, Information modeling expert and person responsible for the PDS implementation that supports expressing the Information Model in multiple formats including both XML and JSON) has coordinated his schedule/approvals to be available for a presentation on the topic at the May Interop. (Thank you Anne) --- From last mtg - Has someone connected with Steve???
• Extra Edu session .... (Henrik)

• Friday morning break???? (Marco->Janet)
• Email from Mario Juric - HIPs, snippet of email below (needs to be contacted, pass on to WG)
  • Over the past year, we've been working with colleagues at Rubin to explore schemes for bulk delivery (download) of large datasets. ... The practical problem we're trying to solve is how to make large (10TB+) catalogs available for bulk download, but in a way that will enable downloads of subset as well as on-line large-scale analytics (including distributed joins and cross-matching). We realized this is possible by a relatively simple extensions of HiPS to parquet-based catalog datasets. ...
• DCP request for extra slot (Gilles)

Education

• session afternoon of 1st day session - Lunch time Q&As in the small conf room
