The Workshop topics include:</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>o Presentation of the DM landscape</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>o Presentation of the different proposals</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>o Presentation of the scientific vision on the DM usage in the VO</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>o Discussions</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A Wrap-up session will take place after the Interop Workshop to hopefully close the debate on the model mapping in the VO.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">** To prepare for the Workshop, we propose running a 2 hour Pre-Interop meeting where interested participants can evaluate our proposals with regard to the services they are operating or may need to build in the future.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The meeting is OPEN to everyone. One thing we are trying to do though is target scientists/implementors who may consider volunteering to relate their experiences at the Interop Workshop. We envision presenting feedback on the use-case work completed so far, or presenting a vision of where a more mature version of the use case could end up someday.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please come, listen, and participate by filling in your availability for the Pre-Interop meeting below:</div><div class=""> <a href="https://evento.renater.fr/survey/pre-interop-meeting-schedule-iw5l2yzv" class="">https://evento.renater.fr/survey/pre-interop-meeting-schedule-iw5l2yzv</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="">We look forward to seeing you all at the May Interop Workshop as well.</span></div></div><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class="">DM chairs</div><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
