EURO-VO Workshop on how to publish data in the VO ESAC, 25 -29 June 2007 http: //esavo. esac. esa. int/Euro. VOWorkshop. June 2007/ WP 3 Report, page 5 DCA PCT Mtg, CDS, 03 -04/05/2007 Christophe Arviset European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) Villafranca del Castillo, MADRID (SPAIN)

Workshop Scope and Goals q Geared towards data centres and large projects to acquire the knowledge and experience necessary to allow them to become "publishers“ in the VO. • Small data providers not excluded q Max around 100 participants • 2 hotels with 30 rooms pre-booked in Madrid (near the Principe Pio train station. Very central and convenient). • Limited travel support from the EURO-VO DCA project • To be mentioned in announcement email for the registration • To be requested directly through the DCA national partner q Workshop pages created • http: //esavo. esac. esa. int/Euro.

Workshop STOC activities q STOC finalizing discussions on: • Intended audience (data centres, large projects, smaller data providers ? ) • Data types (spectra, images, …) to be published • Registration pages contents • Workshop format (general VO introduction, hands on, …. ) q Registration will be sent tomorrow 4 May 2007 • Registration deadline end of May • To the EURO-VO registered list of people (c. f. : http: //help. euro-vo. org/esupport/) • DCA Board and PCT members WP 3 Report, page 8 DCA PCT Mtg, CDS, 03 -04/05/2007 Christophe Arviset European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) Villafranca del Castillo, MADRID (SPAIN)

Workshop Content q Exact workshop contents and format to be decided in view of people’s interests. • Some general VO introduction • Tutorial and hands-on sessions • Participants could bring their own data q Make use of existing developed tools to publish data q Serious caveat: maturity of current IVOA Standards and availability of specifications. • eg, spectra are under a lot of demand, but SSAP v 1. 0 is still not there.
