[Heig] Fwd: VEP of vocabularies and UCDs

[Janet Evans]

Hi Folks,

We have a HEIG VEPs meeting tomorrow —  **Tuesday (Mar 17)  @13:00 UTC**.  I’ve attached the email Bruno sent in mid-February on this topic that gives guidance for an agenda/topics.

Here’s a Zoom link:  https://smithsonian.zoom.us/j/97478328416?pwd=ZEpmMnI4RGhrS01pazF5dXBLbEsyZz09

See Bruno’s email below with a rough agenda we’ll follow.

Please let me know if folks on the ’to’ line can’t make it.

**Just a reminder … we have a Neutrino’s meeting on Friday (Mar 20) @ 15UTC.  I’ll send a zoom link on Thursday.

Thanks,
-janet

> Dear all,
> 
> After few working sessions with Mireille Louys, the process to integrate new semantic terms as standard in IVOA is clarified, thanks to Markus Demleitner.
> 
> To summarise, the plan is:
> 1. find a consensus within the HEIG on the VEP text
> 2. Mireille will generate the csv files associated to the VEP, and post them into the wiki page of the Sematics WG
> 3. Open discussion will be organised by the semantics WG leads under the supervision of Baptiste Cecconi in order to validate them or to converge towards a consensus
> 4. The final VEPs will be then presented to the TCG.
> 
> As we aim to make this process before the next Interop meeting in June, we should find out within our HEIG a consensus on the different VEPs. 
> 
> I have generated github issues for each VEP categories, such that the discussion will be correctly archived:
