Simple Time Series Note posted to IVOA in Madrid – Want to use this as implementation of Endorsed Note process – Some docs may need an IVOA endorsement, but not full REC overhead Document Process: – Draft Endorsed Note – Equivalent of a Working Draft Published at the discretion of the WG/TCG – Proposed Endorsed Note Mature enough for TCG Review Goes to 4-week RFC for public comment – Endorsed Note Has been accepted by the TCG Available in Document Repository Issues – Current IVOA Document Standards v1.3 draft suggests these can only come from a WG or TCG

VOEventRegExt 1) Referring to existing Registry material Issues: – Repeating or condensing materials from other standards can be confusing Suggestion: – Simply reference the REC

VOEventRegExt 2) Identifier Syntax ivo://authori.ty/service/id#local_event.id to ivo://authori.ty/service/id?local_event.id Issues: Requires a new version of the spec Breaks existing community code Suggestions: Avoid issue in RegExt Describe only how to resolve a stream, not the ivorn Defer to the VOEvent spec the ivorn meaning

VOEventRegExt 3) Re-using vs:tableSet Issues: Definition of Group/Param adds complexity to RegTAP for something similar to vs:tableSet Suggestions: Map VOEvent data model to vs:tableSet Less work for TDIG and Registry, immediately discoverable

VOEventRegExt 4) Less Types Issues: Is the difference between DataStream and DataServices important for discoverability? Suggestions: Drop DataStream and derive VOEventStream directly from CatalogService DataDictionary moves to vs:tableSet

VOEventRegExt 5) accessControl -> securityModel securityURL in capability Suggestions: Move everything to ‘interface’

VOEventRegExt 6) Do away with VOEventServer Suggestions: Simpler to let capabilities sit on the VOEventStream if we don’t expect many streams per server 7) Add RegTAP support 8) Misc comments

VOEvent Transport Protocol No change since Madrid Comments promised but not delivered (me) Quick comments on the mailing list, then on to RFC? Implementations: – Comet broker – GCN

Community Engagement Hotwired IV meeting, – May 12-15, Santa Barbara, CA What should the IVOA presence / message be at this meeting? Can we followup with the groups from Heidelberg?
