Minutes

LMT

Peter Teuben: Obscore for LMT

Make obscore tables for L1-L2 data and above (calibrated spectra, cubes, mosaics, ADMIT products).Host on dataverse

Discussion: questions about units for resolution (arcsec always we think, but need to check ALMA), frequency support (multiple spw per observation). A plan could be same obsid different obsdid for each spw

GBO

Tom Chamberlin:

GBO data will be stored at new GBO data center and served through the NRAO archive access tool (AAT) (no VO yet for the AAT, is in the long-term plan).

Discussion: best way to ensure VO compatibility - make sure ObsCore information is present (can always write a mapping). Severin suggests start with a TAP service, the TAP layer can do the translation between observatory metadata and obscore.

Parkes

James Dempsey described the current state of VO services from Australian radio projects - will send specs for CASDA VO services that can be placed on the IVOA RIG wiki.
