Monday

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?
(viii). 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.

Tuesday
