1. Provenance data model (Notes author : Mireille) |
minutes by Mireille Louys draft to be checked with group. |
Francois Bonnarel, Markus Nullmeier, Mireille Louys, Matthieu Servillat, Julien LeFaucheur, Chaitra ( CDS contract) |
(i). Which existing generic tools could we re-use? Prov-N used in the RAVE use-case Prov Store (Southampton) offers a software suite to handle the entity/activity/agent pattern. It is based on the Prov package in Python that can be used directly. Will be explored further by Luth ( Mathieu, Julien ) |
(ii). Format for serialising the metadata JSON prov-XML TAP-Schema Fits- keywords??? extra header Need for a bundle to wrap all together: data (fits) +Instrument files+ IVOA metadata |
(iii). Modeling - which part to re-use from Obscore - how to bind IRF , instrument config, etc. - need for a version tag in the Method metadata |
(iv). Usecases to clarify need for practical use-cases for all projects: *CTA Julien & Mathieu& Catherine ? a possible use-case: spectrum reconstruction as UWS service in LUTH. |
(v). RAVE / IAP check with Kristin |
Pollux Michèle |
SVOM starting the effort(Laurent michel , XMM-High energy physics team, Strasbourg Observatory) |
(vi). Questions to discuss Mireille: how could we disentangle the different layers: - science use-case: what the scientist needs to see , and provide as input data and parameters - chain of algorithms : description of methods and params. - workflow execution : job stalled, job terminated, files in , files out , config , etc. |
(vii). Proposed meetings Wish to have an IVOA tech meeting together : Paris? Strasbourg? Heidelberg? difficult to plan before IVOA :may be in June-July? |
IVOA DM session ask for a provenance DM session at next interop in Cape town: think about targeting some didactic presentation for the audience : many newcomers to the VO are expected. |
2. HiPS / Registry discussion (Notes author : Pierre) |
3. GWsky discussion (Notes author : Giuseppe) |
4. ADQL (Notes author : Dave) |
5. Rendering plots server-side (Notes author : Mark) |
- Discuss options for server-side rendering of plots using topcat/plot2 infrastructure and a web browser with small(?) amounts of javascript Looks like it should be possible to make a start on it without too much difficulty. Mark to have a first go, Stelios may find time for some work on it in future if javascript expertise is required Future progress depends on our other commitments. - Discuss some technical issues related to auto-completion of ADQL queries. |
