Workshop on VO Standards and Systems for Data
Centres and Large Projects

Scope
This task will produce designs and prototypes for
new VO-compliant end-user tools. We will produce
a list of suggested priority tools. This will
partially be based on the experience and feedback
of precursor projects and will be based on input
from the scientific user community. Work will be
conducted in close collaboration with data
providers, e.g., members of the Data Centre
Alliance, current and future missions,
simulations as well as tool builders. A goal is
to help existing facilities with technology
take-up and to have a lasting impact on Astronomy
data centres and their user community by
exploring new designs and deriving generalized
IVOA standards.

Tools vs. Scenarios I
This is a preliminary analysis feedback
requested from DS4 partners.
15
Tools vs. Scenarios II

• A question mark ? denotes a gap between
  scenarios and envisaged tools.
• Implementations may already exist.
• This is a preliminary analysis feedback
  requested from DS4 partners.

16
Tools vs. Scenarios III

• A question mark ? denotes a gap between
  scenarios and envisaged tools.
• Implementations may already exist.
• This is a preliminary analysis feedback
  requested from DS4 partners.

17
Food for DiscussionDerived FocusIterations 2-6

• Note taken during the presentation
• The group concluded to initially focus on T4
  cross matcher.
• Work on an iteraions focus area does not
  prevent work in any other area.
• Above list is a possibility feedback
  requested from DS4 partners.
