I have been tasked to make a statement of the "Architecture of the
IVO" so that our national projects can try to stay on the same track
as everyone else. I would like to make something that we can all agree
to -- otherwise it is just a Roy/NVO statement and not really
international at all.
I have decided to take the following path.
(1) To build a 1-page diagram of the general architecture (see
attached).
(2) To describe the components and how they interact (not started
yet).
So what I would like is to first reach an agreement on the Big Diagram
(1), then try to get the working group leads to write some text
describing their pieces of it. So far, I have integrated the
architecture diagrams from Hanisch (NVO) and from Linde (Astrogrid2).
Therefore, please take a look at this attached picture, and ask if your view of the VO architecture fits in it somewhere.
Please respond by comments to this group rather than by modifying the
PPT.
Thank you
Roy
