Roles Author Scientific Responsibility Metadata same as IVOA Organization title, shortName, description, logo, contact (Name, , Phone), Contributor Publisher XML Responsibility Creates unique IVORN Subscription interface Repository Resolves IVORNs Query interface (SEAP) Relays, Filters, and Brokers Combinations of basic roles

VOEvent Structure Who Publisher, Contact, etc Subscribers will use AuthorIVORN to select WhereWhen (== STC) Can be simple eg RA, Dec, eg UTC Can be sophisticated, eg multiple frames, near objects, etc What Hierarchy of named parameters Units, Semantic type (UCD) References, Descriptions How How was the evidence gathered: camera, telescope, etc Why probability list of interpretation supernova, comet, asteroid,..... Citation Link to other VOEvent: Followup, Supercede, Retraction, Link to support data Reference Supporting material, eg lightcurve, image

is the scientifically-responsible Author? Rapid Telescope for Optical Response Raptor Robert White ivo://raptor.lanl/organization or An IVORN for an organization Easier for Subscribers to find Author Shorter packet

was actually observed Parser can cast this Group to class phot_pt A time sequence of R- magnitudes

do we think this happened? Tycho's Stella Nova SN Ia 3C 10 supernova remnant Importance of the event observation should I interrupt my telescope schedule? Publisher thinks (prob=0.98) this is a SN1a with given name Possibility this is associated with object 3C10 For draft controlled vocab for concepts see

VO Identifiers Registry finds the VOEvent repository Repository finds the specific event ivo://pq.nvo.caltech/VOEPublisher # c Publisher IVORN Resolved by registry to find repositories Local ID Not known to registry Created by Publisher Known to event repository delimiter Event IVORN (whole thing)

VOEvent and Registry Author may be registered may be cited by IVORN in VOEvent packet Saves typing Easier for subscriber to pick known authors equivalence of with IVOA Organization Publisher is registered List of authors, How to subscribe Repository is registered Which publishers are kept IVORN resolution. Query interface

Author (science) Publisher (identifier, signature) Repository Registry Usage for VOEvent Client 1.Resolve identifier ivo://publisherID#localID 2. Which repositories have events from this publisher? 3: Send localID 4: Receive event metadata publish event store event VO Global Registry Subscribers

Citation An event can cite another ivo://gcn.nasa/VOEvent#hete_389241a_ _ Observations can be federated by mutual citation followup observation event collection

Control Author A sends event E to Subscriber S Subscriber software decides on action.... S can followup everything from A S can followup if importance > threshold (importance is part of every event) S can followup if prob(Supernova) > threshhold section has hypothesis, concept, association S can examine the parameters, images, lightcurves section is observations

Transport Querying and web pages as usual client connects to server RSS polling is like this Subscription One of Client keeps open socket to server Server keeps open connection to client (GCN model) Subscriber protocol Jabber/XMPP -- popular IM protocol Home made -- TCP Vanilla Java Messaging One-way SOAP (port 80)

VOEvent Structure Event has ivo:// identifier (the IVORN) Citation Keep it light -- no data in VOEvent-- use links Citation connects events Discovery, Followup, Supercede, Join, Predict Subscription / query / digest (RSS) get only the events you want based on complex criteria based on publisher crossmatch event libraries Transport fabric for human: , cellphone, IM for robot: IM, web-service, auto- , socket
