VOEvent Workshop, April 13/14 Pasadena

[Roy Williams]

Dear Data Modellers

This note is to inform you for a Data Modelling activity that is called the VOEvent Working Group of IVOA. Our first meeting will be April 13/14 in Pasadena, and I would be pleased to see representation from the data model group of IVOA. 

Please come and help us define the semantics of an immediate astronomical event.

Thank you
Roy Williams

Agenda:
-- Define scope and reach a consensus on the semantic content of a discovery/followup message for an immediate sky event. This will be based on the existing draft at the IVOA Twiki.

-- Consideration of serializing such a message into XML components, with re-use of existing schema where relevant.

-- Language by which clients could subscribe to a VOEvent server, with fine control over which messages are to be received.

-- Database and transport technologies for carrying VOEvent messages.

-- How existing systems could have a VOEvent capability.added with maximal functionality and minimal effort.

-- Finding volunteers to set up prototype systems.
