Discussion session

• Generally accepted data format seems to be
  elusive, but technology is now mature to
  circumvent this
• Metadata are crucial some data providers need
  guidance on standards and implementation
• COST 0803 SG 1.4, SG 2.1
• Review of data and application services
  (operational and planned), with emphasis on IT
  technologies
• Review of state of the art IT technologies for
  data and application servers, to produce
  documentation lack of awareness is an issue
• Use COST to set up collaborative effort between
  data and service providers, users and IT
  specialists.
• Use COST 0803 web site as focal point, with email
  distribution list, to collect and distribute
  information
• Liaise with other communities (VO, ...)
