WP 2Definition of the EuroVO-DCA Strategy Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Elements of WP2 • Preliminary Project plan (D2) Report • Preliminary census of European astronomical data centres • Medium term strategy • Lessons learnt from the project • Brussels Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Preliminary project plan • Input from each WP lead taking into account input from all WP participants – Oct 12th • Production of the report by MD/FG – Oct 25th • Check by partners – Oct 29th • Final version of D2 Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Preliminary census (1) • Produced by MD/FG • Organized • Per partner • Per category • Data archives / science ready data • Added-value data bases and services • Tools • Software suites • Theory • Thematic services • Differentiates operational data centres/data centres in project • Criteria: service to the community!! Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Preliminary Census (2) • For each data centre (if possible) • Name • Location (s) • Laboratory/authority in charge • Contact person • Scientific contact • Web page • Kind of service provided Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Preliminary census (3) • Draft from viewgraphs / comments from partners: end of kick-off • Lists provided by partners with additional information – end of November • Partners’ priorities – in your own words • Consolidation end of year • Board ‘meeting’ January Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Open question: Working Groups • Synergies between partners • Who would be interested in participating in WGs? • Spectroscopic data – WP3 • Images • Workflow – use cases • Geodesy • VO-3D • To be decided later – development? Sharing experience? • Proposed organisation: WG creation decided at Board level if interest expressed by several partners; one person in charge; each partner decides about travel of its constituents; WP 6 involvement? • this is WP business; WPs are allowed to create WGs Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Interdisciplinary aspects • ‘Fundamental physics’ – Atomic & Molecular Physics – Working Group – WP4 • What to do with solar/heliosperic/space plasma physics (INSU/INAF/AG)? Help groups to get in touch: identify contact persons in each parner (and other countries), encourage them to network • High Energy and particle physics/astroparticles Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Other aspects of networking between partners • In some cases, direct contact with projects/entities (ALMA, Planck, Radionet, AstroNet) - Postponed after the census • When Preliminary census available, look for possible synergies – Board action • Gather information on all DCA-related events organized by partners: M. Depretz (including user workshops?) Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
Open question: EU • EuroVO-DCA in the EU framework • eInfrastructure (EGEE, IST events, networking with other projects) • Infrastructure (OPTICON) • Digital Libraries (eContentPlus, DG Information Society & Media) – disciplinary / interdisciplinary – very relevant Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
