VOSpace 2.1 and UWS 1.1

[Andre Schaaff]

Hello,

(we send also this mail to the apps WG as people having implemented 
VOSpace / UWS libraries are concerned by the evolutions of theses 
standards, remarks and suggestions from people using applications in 
which VOSpace or UWS are implemented are also welcome, and in any case 
all comments are welcome !)

Following the last interop in Hawaii we have a roadmap concerning 
VOSpace and UWS for the next one hosted by ESAC in May.

Concerning VOSpace 2.1, Brian Major has started a discussion page here :

http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VOSpace21Spec

Concerning UWS 1.1, Paul Harrison is maintaining the two following documents

one concerning the suggestions which are summerized here :

http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/UWSEnhancement

and a second one concerning the draft of the 1.1 release :

https://volute.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/projects/grid/uws/doc/UWS.html

this second document is not completely updated but Paul will update and 
clean it for the next interop

Remark : VOSpace 2.1 and UWS 1.1 will integrate minor (to maintain the 
backward compatibility) changes but the discussion is open to all the 
needs and suggestions which are not in this scope to prepare the next 
major evolutions of these standards.

So feel free to make any comment / suggestion or to start a discussion 
on a specific point.

We will prepare and publish the new working drafts at least one week 
before Madrid.


Regards,

André Schaaff and Andreas Wicenec
