VOTech Stage 1 Meeting, DS4 User Tools, Univ. Leicester, 22-Feb-2005 VOTech DS4 Scope This task will produce designs and prototypes for new VO-compliant end-user tools. We will produce a list of suggested priority tools. This will partially be based on the experience and feedback of precursor projects and will be based on input from the scientific user community. Work will be conducted in close collaboration with data providers, e.g., members of the Data Centre Alliance, current and future missions, simulations as well as tool builders. A goal is to help existing facilities with technology take-up and to have a lasting impact on Astronomy data centres and their user community by exploring new designs and deriving generalized IVOA standards.

VOTech Stage 1 Meeting, DS4 User Tools, Univ. Leicester, 22-Feb-2005 VOTech DS4 Food for Discussion: Derived Focus Iterations 2-6 Note taken during the presentation: The group concluded to initially focus on T4 ‚cross matcher‘. Work on an iteraion‘s focus area does not prevent work in any other area. Above list is ‚a‘ possibility; feedback requested from DS4 partners.
