Interop Session Topics

[Patrick Dowler]

There will be 4 DAL (or joint) sessions at the Interop in Madrid, now 
about a month away.

The DAL sessions are summarised here:

* TAP *
For TAP-1.x, we will have a pretty open discussion to figure out where 
to go with teh next version. if you would like to present something 
about your experiences implementing and operating TAP service(s), please 
email me and Francois Bonnarel.

* Data Cubes *
For SIA-2.0, some discussions on the mailing list warrant changes to the 
WDs which will be done in the next week or so. Other topics need further 
face to face discussion so I think we are at the point where we need to 
review the changes and then list and discuss the outstanding issues. 
However, if you have some prototyping experience based on 
WD-SIA-2.0-20131115 and want to present that, please email me and 
Francois Bonnarel.

For AccessData-1.0, discussion has been minimal thus far as this 
standard borrows concepts from SIA. An updated WD, mainly to show how to 
describe access data service(s) using the DataLink service descriptor 
mechanism, should be ready soon. I think this will mainly be a 
discussion topic, but if you have some prototyping experience to report 
please email me and Francois Bonnarel.

Note: There is also a data cube session more oriented to the ImageDM 
that the DM-WG is organising, so you may also consider that venue 
depending on the content of the presentation.

* DataLink *
Finally, I have made progress finalising WD-DataLink-1.0 based on 
mailing list discussions, with most of the feedback taken into account 
one way or another. That should be available very soon. The session will 
feature a review of the changes and current state, and some discussion 
on the issue of "semantics" of a link. If you want to present 
prototyping experience and/or something on link semantics, please email 
me and Francois Bonnarel.

PS-Check the schedule at the above link to see where presentations are 
allocated.
