4. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France4 Objectives achieved and even further !  Diversity of theoretical products (Session 1): many products accessible on-line  3D+Time: CADAC (Rick), CINECA (Claudio), StarFormat (Franck), GalMer (Igor)  non-spatial: PDRDB (Franck), stellar isochrones/evolutionary tracks (Carlos, Miguel), synthetic photometry (Carlos, Miguel), astrosismology models (Carlos, Miguel) many diverse science (and use) cases: cosmology, cluster of galaxies, star formation, cloud collapse, stellar isochrones, photodissociation,… a very good sampling of the real world and real use of theoretical products

5. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France5 Objectives achieved and even further !  SimDB/DM (Session DM+TIG): under DM WG auspices, finalization of the Simulation DM (part of the SimDB) we needed approx. 4 * 2hrs + 1 normal session = 9.5 hrs to freeze the DM agreement on SimulationDM to cover ALL theoretical products  One name (simulation), one root (Sim*), one SimDAL (Session 2) for every kind of theoretical product !

6. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France6 Actions and Roadmap  SimDB/DM (SimDM) action leaders: Mireille & Gerard action players: Mireille, Gerard, Benjamin, Franck, Miguel, Carlos, Rick, Claudio, Hervé, Laurent write the specification in IVOA document format with DM collaboration entrust SimDM to DM WG timeline :  specification finalization (DL: end of June)  recommendation path during summer after DM WG review  REC by EXEC in Nara (hopefully)  mapping of all theory services (SVO, CINECA, BaSTI) to SimDM action leaders: Miguel, Patrizia action players: Miguel, Carlos, Patrizia, with Franck’s expertise

7. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France7 Actions and Roadmap  SimDB/Service action leaders: Gerard action players: Gerard, Benjamin, Franck, Nicolas experts (see Baltimore conclusions): Norman, Mireille, Keith, REGISTRY? need to query on a SimDB service two preliminary implementations rely on several others IVOA standards  semantics vocabulary  TAP  VOSI  … need to resume work on it by July

8. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France8 Actions and Roadmap  Semantics action leaders: Fabrice & Franck action players: ALL Astrophysical Objects: Ex: Galaxy, disk, bulk, Cloud, gas, jets,... Physical quantities: Ex: Velocity, Temperature, Temperature of electrons,... Physical processes Ex: Gravitation, MHD, hydrodynamics, Radiative transfer Algorithms Ex: Tree, SPH, Vlasov solver, Monte Carlo,…  Largest participation of people interested in Theory products required Expertise in different fields of (astro)physics is mandatory http://vocabularies.referata.com/wiki  Priorities : 1. Finalize the Algorithm vocabulary (DL: next INTEROP) 2. Develop the other vocabularies 1. Physical processes (subset of IVOAT + a few missing processes) 2. Astrophysical object (Ontology of astronomical objects + a few other processes) 3. Physical properties (UCDs + vocabulary)

9. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France9 Actions and Roadmap  SimDAL (including SimDAP and S3) action leaders: Claudio & Rick action players: Claudio, Rick, Carlos, Miguel, Benjamin, Franck, Nicolas, Gerard becomes very urgent ! SimDM is there (quite soon) testing facilities available need to work as soon as possible with DAL WG

10. 2010-May-19H. Wozniak / Obs. Strasbourg / VO-France10 Roadmap  Roadmap Next INTEROP (7-13 Dec 2010 @ Nara, Japan) BEFORE : 1. SimDM: regular telecon on writing SimDM specification (Louys, Wozniak, Gheller, Cerviño, Lemson, Le Petit, Ooghe, Rodrigo Blanco, Wagner, Bourgès) 2. DM WG: start WG discussions in July 3. resume work on SimDB and SimDAL : an intermediate meeting (2 days?) 1.when ? September (doodle pool to be done) 2.what ? SimDB and SimDAL 3.where ? Strasbourg (central wrt Bologna-Madrid-Munich-Paris) 4.who ? Gheller, Wagner, Cerviño, Lemson, Le Petit, Ooghe, Rodrigo Blanco, Wozniak,… At Nara INTEROP  Top priorities : SimDAL (presentations in DAL sessions or common one?), SimDB, Semantics
