---++ UWS v1.1 Proposed Recommendation: Request for Comments

Public discussion page for the IVOA UWS 1.1 Proposed Recommendation.

The latest version of the UWS Specification can be found at:
   * [[http://ivoa.net/documents/UWS/20150626/index.html][http://ivoa.net/documents/UWS/20150626/index.html]]

---+++ Reference Interoperable Implementations

Would the implementors of the UWS 1.1 specification please add details. Or, please remove your implementation from this list if not correct.

---++++ Astrogrid Implementation (Paul Harrison)

---++++ CDS / GAVO Implementation (Gregory Mantelet)

---++++ VO Paris Implementation (Mathieu Servillat)
---++++ CADC Implementation (Pat Dowler)

---+++ Implementations Validators

No implementation validators for UWS 1.1, though CADC (and others?) have UWS 1.0 validators that still pass:

   * CADC UWS 1.0 Validator: [[https://code.google.com/p/opencadc/source/browse/#git%2Fprojects%2FcadcTestUWS][OpenCADC cadcTestUWS]]

   * [[http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/stilts/sun256/taplint.html][taplint]] TAP validator within [[http://www.starlink.ac.uk/stilts][stilts]] does non-exhaustive validation of the UWS v1.0 functionality of a TAP service: job submission, lifecycle tracking, deletion, job document parsing etc. See [[https://github.com/Starlink/starjava/blob/master/ttools/src/main/uk/ac/starlink/ttools/taplint/JobStage.java][UWS Stage]]. If someone can point me at a running UWS 1.1-compliant TAP service (minimum: WAIT-blocking and job documents labelled =version='1.1'= ) I'll try to update the validation for it. -- IVOA.MarkTaylor - 2015-07-03

Please add your validator (even if 1.0) if applicable.

---++ Comments from the IVOA Community during RFC period: 2015-06-30 - 2015-08-18

Example Comment (2015 June 30th) by IVOA.BrianMajor

I comment on these three points:
   * point 1
   * point 2
   * point 3

---+++ Comments from IVOA.MarkTaylor

(Still) a good clearly written document.  One or two minor comments/suggestions:

   * Notation: I don't understand the usage of curly and round brackets in referencing URL path elements.  For instance in sec 2.1.11 I see: "/{jobs}/{job-id}/parameters/(parameter-name)", and in sec 2.2: "/(jobs)/(jobid)", and in sec 2.2.1.1: "/{jobs}/(job-id)".  Are () and {} doing different, ahem, jobs here?  If not, can you just pick one or the other?
   * Sec 1.3: "an XML document (e.g. <nop>ADQL, CEA [harrison05])" - is it anachronistic to refer to <nop>ADQL in this context since post-ADQL-2.0 there is no <nop>ADQL/X representation?
   * Sec 2.1: A count indicator ("1") is missing from the Job-Owner link in the UML diagram
   * Sec 2.1.3: The phases "HELD", "SUSPENDED" and "ARCHIVED" do not appear in the diagram.
   * Sec 2.2: "future versions of this document will add other bindings such as SOAP." Really?
   * Sec 2.2: "an non-existant job id" -> "a non-existent job-id"
   * Sec 2.2.1.1: "it should not return a response (i.e. block)" is a bit ambiguous.  Prefer "it should not return a response (i.e. it should block)"?
   * Sec 2.2.1.1: "/{jobs}/(job-id)?WAIT&PHASE=QUEUED": I think it has to be "WAIT=&lt;value&gt;" not just "WAIT"?
   * Sec 4.2: "<nop>ADQL [1] can serve as a JDL." - bibliography referencing is wrong.  
   * Sec 4.3: "Call it CEA v2 to distinguish it from CEA v1 as currently maintained by <nop>AstroGrid." - it's a bit anachronistic.
   * Sec 4.3: "The JDL in CEA v2 is similar to that in CEA v1 It is a formal ..." - missing full stop
   * Sec 4.3: "the emerging XForms technology" - is it still emerging?
   * Schema: =version= attribute to be made optional? (see [[http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/grid/2015-July/002768.html][schema evolution discussion]])
