2. Astronomical Spectroscopy
and VO Workshop
ESAC, March 2007

3. March Spectro Workshop
Great success !
Number of participants: 122, including visitors from NVO and JVO
Good mixture between scientists and developers
Good mixture between usual VO people and other people
VO experts present (four IVOA WG Chairs present in the Workshop) have gotten impressions from the Scientific Community.
Brief report should be presented at next IVOA interop in Beijing
Proceedings being prepared.
Deadline for submission : end of May

4. March Spectro Workshop
Important topics discussed included:
Spectroscopic surveys
VO Spectroscopy Standards and tools
Spectroscopic Algorithms and tools
Photometry and callibration standards
Interface to Laboratory dbs and theoretical models
Scientific community not aware of VO practices has got a better idea of what the VO is about and what it can do for them

5. EURO-VO Workshop on how to publish data in the VO
ESAC, June 2007

6. Workshop Scope and Goals
Geared towards data centres and large projects to acquire the knowledge and experience necessary to allow them to become "publishers“ in the VO.
Small data providers not excluded
Max around 100 participants
2 hotels with 30 rooms pre-booked in Madrid (near the Principe Pio train station. Very central and convenient).
Limited travel support from the EURO-VO DCA project
To be mentioned in announcement for the registration
To be requested directly through the DCA national partner
Workshop pages created

8. Workshop STOC activities
STOC finalizing discussions on:
Intended audience (data centres, large projects, smaller data providers ?)
Data types (spectra, images, …) to be published
Registration pages contents
Workshop format (general VO introduction, hands on, ….)
Registration will be sent tomorrow 4 May 2007
Registration deadline end of May
To the EURO-VO registered list of people (c.f.:
DCA Board and PCT members

9. Workshop Content
Exact workshop contents and format to be decided in view of people’s interests.
Some general VO introduction
Tutorial and hands-on sessions
Participants could bring their own data
Make use of existing developed tools to publish data
Serious caveat: maturity of current IVOA Standards and availability of specifications.
eg, spectra are under a lot of demand, but SSAP v1.0 is still not there.
