Kyoto Meeting

[Masatoshi OHISHI]

Hi VOQL members,
(c/c DAL members)

In February I posted the following message to the group, and I observed
no suggestions. Doug Tody agreed to have a joint session with the DAL
group.

 >1) implementation status of ADQL-0.9 / SkyNode
 >2) development on the "Virtual Column" concept to be incorporated into
 >  ADQL-1.x (?); this item may be discussed jointly with the DAL group
 >3) other related proposals / reports

Therefore I would like to follow the original idea. Here is the draft agenda
for our session:

Session 1 (May 16, 14:00-15:30)

AI 1.1. Report on Implementation Status of ADQL and SkyNode
   I would like to ask the following people to talk (15 min each)
     Martin Hill (UK)  -- ADQL
     Wil O'Mullane (USA) -- ADQL, SkyNode
     Yuji Shirasaki (Japan) -- ADQL, SkyNode in Java
     Inaki Ortiz (Spain) -- SkyNode in Java

(I note that we miss Hans-Martin Adolf (GAVO) in the Kyoto meeting,
who implemented ADQL.)

AI 1.2. Discussion if we can promote ADQL-0.9x and SkyNode 0.7x towards
          Proposed Recommendations (20 min)

Session 2 (May 17, 09:00 - 10:30) -- joint session with the DAL group

AI 2.1. Experimental Integration of SIAP, SSAP and SkyNode through the
    "Virtual Columns"
    Yuji Shirasaki (Japan)  40 min

AI 2.2. Discussion on Collaborative Work between VOQL and DAL
              20 min

AI 3. Any Other Business
             15 min

I would like to have comments, additions/deletions on the agenda items,
and would like to confirm that suggested speakers on AI 1.1 can give
their reports. Of course I welcome other speakers.

See you in Kyoto very soon !!

Cheers,

      Masatoshi
