Dear DAL members and IVOA,<br>
<br>
The <a href="https://indico.ict.inaf.it/event/2996/"
moz-do-not-send="true">November IVOA Interoperability Meeting</a>
will take place in La Valletta, Malta from 14 - 17 November 2024.
Remote attendance will also be supported.<br>
<br>
We invite you to contribute to the DAL session with a DAL related
topic.<br>
<br>
For reminder, DAL stands for Data Access Layer. This Working Group
aims to define standards and protocols to access data in an
interoperable way. Here are few examples of well-known DAL
standards: (Simple) Cone Search, SIA (image access), SSA (spectra
access), TAP (Table Access Protocol) and ADQL (SQL-like language to
query a database). The full list of DAL standards is available on
the <a href="https://www.ivoa.net/documents/"
moz-do-not-send="true">IVOA Documents page</a>.<br>
<br>
During this interop., you can contribute, remotely or in-person,
with a talk presenting implementations, sharing your experience as
user, presenting and discussing progress on a DAL standards, or
presenting use-cases. If you are interested, please send your
contribution (with a speaker name, a title, and ideally an abstract)
to <a href="mailto:gregory.mantelet@astro.unistra.fr"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">gregory.mantelet@astro.unistra.fr</a>
and <a href="mailto:jfraustro@stsci.edu"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">jfraustro@stsci.edu</a>.
If you are unsure about the suitability of a talk, or are a first
time contributor, please get in contact with us and we can discuss
it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Grégory Mantelet and Joshua Fraustro<br>
