<p>Hello Registry!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>First, my apologies for the delay on getting back to this. A lot of much-appreciated work was done before and at the RofR operations meeting held at College Park, by Janet, Yulie, Menelaos, and Euro-VO registry maintainers. We are all working <span> toward
an error-free whole registry ecosystem for the RofR, to provide good-quality metadata the IVOA can be proud of, and to make inclusion in the RofR a much easier process for the people who have to maintain it and the registries in it.</span><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For those not in attendance, several people involved in operations for searchable and publishing registries, registry validators, and with the Registry of Registries, met to address long-standing and widespread problems with validation of registries and
inclusion in the RofR. Yulie's excellent and detailed notes are attached. I'll also be forwarding some of the resultant discussion.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In summary, we decided to tackle some of these issues for the May 2019 Interop, where we will report on progress and further discuss approaches for handling various levels of validation failure (OAI, resource authority provenance issues, resource XML, etc).
Known issues exist with individual resources, with outdated standards schemas the validator uses, and with some registry publishing service software. There is a little bit for everybody to work on. I am currently working on errata and issues within the NAVO
searchable registry at STScI to keep it fresh in my mind. I've also tentatively started a page linked in the wiki under RegistryOperations; time will tell if we use this and actually updated the Ops guide or remove it.

All publishing registry maintainers - please run the validator at <a href="http://rofr.ivoa.net/regvalidate" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk801354" previewremoved="true">
http://rofr.ivoa.net/regvalidate</a> and clean up what resource and software issues we can. Discuss remaining problems at next Interop, especially if issues are found in open software that runs multiple registries. I'll send out reminders in the months leading
up. Feel free to contact Menelaus or the list if a validation error is not easily understood.</div>
