Simple Image Access International VIRTUAL OBSERVATORY V1.1 Upgrade Planning Doug Tody (NRAO) IVOA, Kyoto May 16-20 2005
SIA V1.1 Planning Goals Probably Defer Issues Update and enhance metadata; consistent with SSA Metadata extension mechanism (FB et.al.; presentation) Some new functionality (LName, score, compression, etc.) Anything else? (e.g., spectral data cubes) Probably Defer Web Services interface Asynchronous i/o, staging to VOStore, authentication, etc. (infrastructure not ready yet) Issues Interface change! Will require code modifications Should have careful policy for how to handle such upgrades IVOA, Kyoto May 16-20 2005

Goals for SIA V1.1 Update and enhance metadata Some new functionality Take SSA as the starting point Generic dataset metadata is common Metadata extension mechanism Some new functionality LName, score, compression, etc. Anything else? e.g., spectral data cubes IVOA, Kyoto May 16-20 2005
SIA V1.1: Probably Defer Web Services interface Not worth it until we have functionality which needs it, e.g., staging etc. Asynchronous i/o, staging to VOStore, authentication, etc. Infrastructure not ready yet Would be good to prototype though IVOA, Kyoto May 16-20 2005

SIA V1.1 Upgrade Issues How to roll-out new interfaces Versioning essential Describe in registry and at service level Service can support multiple interfaces (and hence versions) Plan to keep old interface around for at least one cycle User wants to defer upgrading until time is right IVOA, Kyoto May 16-20 2005
