Applications Interest Group • Seven presentations on diverse VO-based and VO-related applications • Visualization: Aladin V3.0 (F. Ochsenbein), VO-enabled Mirage (M. Nieto) • Catalog and database access: OpenSkyQuery portal, CasJobs (M. Nieto), Catalog Data Interface Tool (J. Gupchup) • VOTable display and translation tools: STILTS, TOPCAT (M. Taylor) • Spectral analysis: SPLAT (M. Taylor), NVO Spectrum Services (M. Nieto), VOSpec (P. Osuna)
Applications Interest Group • Seven presentations on diverse VO-based and VO-related applications (cont’d) • Accessing legacy applications with web services (M. Fitzpatrick) • Building client-side applications (N. Winstanley) • VO support for solar system studies (F. Genova)
Applications Interest Group • VO infrastructure rich enough to support quite sophisticated applications • Some frustration over shifting sands, especially from prototype to initial release of SSAP
Applications Interest Group • Discussion regarding need/desirability of defining “supported platforms” for IVOA applications • Core set of browsers • Core set of software development environments • Core set of operating systems • Consensus: AIG should suggest modest suite of platforms and suggest that VO projects try to support their applications on them. Goal is to foster take-up of VO apps, avoid breakage when users alternate among tools (e.g., OSQ portal starts VOPlot)
