1 IVOA InterOperability Meeting Overview Dave De Young Baltimore 26 – 31 October 2008

2 IVOA Goals An Alliance of Projects for: Developing Interoperability Standards Enhancing Communication Fostering Collaboration Cultivating VO Awareness and Usage by The Astronomical Community

3 Some Events Since Trieste Euro-VO DCA Workshop: 23 – 27 June NVO Team Meeting : 30 June – 1 July 10 th Asian-Pacific Regional IAU: 3 – 6 Aug IVOA Exec: Telecon 7 August TCG Telecon: 4 September NVO Summer School : 3 – 11 September JENAM 2008 – Vienna: 8 – 12 September Ast. Data and VO – Kiev: 5 – 8 October VO Information Day – Lisbon: 23 – 24 October

4 Some Events Since Trieste ADQL to RFC GWS: VOSpace to RFC GWS: Credential Delegation Protocol to RFC Document Standards to RFC DAL Progress on TAP Working Draft Theory IG: Microsimulation Protocol Note Semantics: Stellar Spectral Classes Note

5 Highlights from Exec Meeting Reports from WG/IG Chairs – Focus on Current WG/IG Problems and Issues – Provides Essential Input for Exec Discussion Reports on Newsletter, Ad Hoc Working Groups Issues: – RFC and Promotion Process – Promotion to Standard from IGs May Interop: Strasbourg

6 Status of Prospective New Members and Inactive Projects Argentine – Initial Contact Made Australia – Currently Inactive Brasil – Funding Pending Bulgaria – Continuing Interest Chile – Under Development Korea – Currently Inactive Portugal – Emerging Interest Romania – Under Development Turkey – Possible Initiative

7 Some Major Issues from the Survey: – Pace of Promotion to Standards – IVOA and the Astronomy Community – Communication within IVOA – Functioning of WGs and IGs – Transition to Operations – Website; Relation to Other Disciplines IVOA Assessment Follow-Up

8 Formation of ad hoc Assessment Working Group – F. Genova, R. Hanisch, M. Ohishi, F. Pasian, N. Walton, D. De Young (chair) – Identify Major or Urgent Issues, Develop Recommendations – Report Adopted by Exec May 2008 – Major Areas of Concern: Comunication – Internal and External – IVOA, Data Centers, Astronomy Community, Other Disciplines IVOA in the Era of Operations, Validation IVOA Assessment Follow-Up

9 Progress Made to Date: – Website Redesigned; Continually Improved – (Thank you, Bruno) – Number of Interop Parallel Sessions Reduced – Terms & Function of WG/IG Chairs Clarified – Links to Exec Made More Clear – Format of October Interop Meetings Revised IVOA Assessment Follow-Up

10 Formation of Take-Up Working Group – Established During Trieste Interop – M. Allen, D. De Young, E. Hatziminaoglou, A. Kembhavi, A. Lawrence, P. Padovani – Discussed Problems, Forwarded Report to Exec Extremely Important Issue – Survival of VO Direct IVOA Role: Interop Presentations on Needs of Astronomy Community Support Dedicated Workshops; Gather Information Support VO Portals/Interface – Tools and Techniques IVOA Assessment Follow-Up – Recent Developments

11 Formation of Liaison Working Group – C. Arviset, D. De Young, F. Genova, M. Ohishi, F. Pasian, N. Walton Follow-on to Trieste Plenary and Special Sessions – Establish Liaison with Other Disciplines – Explore Mutual Problems and Areas of Interest Developing Tools, Standards, & Protocols – Communicate Results, Experience Common or Recurrent Themes or Needs – Standards? – STP, Planetary Science, Particle Physics, Earth Science IVOA Assessment Follow-Up – Recent Developments

12 IVOA Newsletter – Origins in Proposed APPS Newsletter – M. Allen – Editors: M. Allen, S. Emery-Bunn, E. Hatziminaoglou, R. Mann, T. McGlynn, C. Miller, A.. Richards, J. Tedds Oversight by Subset of Exec – Charter Written and Discussed – Draft Version Created – Publication: Imminent IVOA Assessment Follow-Up – Recent Developments

13 Coming Events ADASS XVII – Quebec : 2 – 5 November Euro-VO AIDA Workshop: 1 – 3 December Euro-VO SAC: 11 – 12 December 2 nd Euro-VO AIDA Workshop: Spring 2009 IAU General Assembly: August 2009 – VO WG Being Formed International Year of Astronomy

14 Some Highlights for This Meeting VO Front Row! Discussions and Progress on TAP Theory IG: SimDB, SimDAP, Microsim Note Further Discussons of ADQL GWS: VOSI, VOData Resource Schema (Involves Registry, DAL) And Many More…

15 IVOA Goals An Alliance of Projects for: Developing Interoperability Standards Enhancing Communication Fostering Collaboration Cultivating VO Awareness and Usage by The Astronomical Community

16 Goals of IVOA – What We are About We Are About Enabling Astronomcical Research Development of Complex Technical Tools: – Is Essential to Some of This, But… – Because It Can Be Done Does Not Imply It Should Be Done Near Term: Get Useful Tools & Services to Astronomers Now

17 Thanks to: The Program Organizing Committee The Local Organizing Committee
