Program for Pune session

[Alberto Accomazzi]

Dear DC&P enthusiasts,

I'm soliciting input for our session at the Pune meeting.  The list has 
been quite silent but I know of a few items that should be of interest 
to this group and that I would like to at least bring to the table:

* Data citations: this is a topic of current interest across all of 
science and astronomy is no exception.  We have a tradition of being 
good about archiving and naming our resources but we haven't solved all 
problems and we'll need to face the fact that the rest of the world will 
be using things such as DOIs and ARKs.  I think a review of where things 
are is in order, although this discussion could easily fill the entire 
meeting.

* Workflows: André Schaaff and Jose Enrique Ruiz suggested writing a 
Note about the (planned) use of workflows in science in general and 
astronomy in particular.  Andre' are you interested/willing in talking 
about this?

* VAO AstroExplorer project: I would like to give people an update of 
what our group has been doing within the VAO DC&P efforts, and possibly 
hear from other people involved in discovery portals/applications how 
this effort can benefit them.  There may be some overlap with the 
applications or Semantics groups so this might be moved.

Please let me know if you're interested in any of the above and if 
you're willing to contribute with one or more (short) presentations as 
part of this discussion.  Are there any other topics that we should cover?

Sorry for sending this out so late.

-- Alberto
