solar VOEvent ontology work

[Elizabeth Auden]

Hi everyone,

I've just posted a report and ontology (for a solar VOEVent catalogue - 
subset of elements from VOEvent) on the EuroVO wiki: 
http://wiki.eurovotech.org/bin/view/VOTech/SuaveCATImplementation.

The report describes building a *small* ontology for a solar VOEvent 
catalogue, setting up the catalogue, and deploying 2 AstroGrid tools to 
add events and get back VOEvent packets.

Coming soon:

Soonish: STC ontology and fuller VOEvent 1.0 OWL files

Longer-term: first stab at software agents that will use the ontology to 
find 1) related solar events in different catalogues and 2) identify 
related flares and coronal mass ejections.

cheers,
Elizabeth
