As far as for VOQL, it is correct.

I agree with Doug. Because VO is an application, I prefer to call it as "Analisis Services".

GGF is going to abondon OGSI and to introduce WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework), and is going not to use "Grid Services". I have no problem to use "Grid Services" in this diagram, however, we need to use other term very soon.

In the synthesized diagram, "standard queries" are use to communicate between the "Portals and so on" layer and the "Data Services" layer. This should be replaced with ADQL (x/s). Here ADQL/s stands for a string form of ADQL and ADQL/x for an XML form of ADQL, and both are basically identical. Since we agreed to use ADQL/x for communications between machines, "OpenSkyQuery/ADQL" in the middle of the diagram should be replaced with "ADQL/x".
There is "VOQL" on the "Semantic Web (UCD)" box, however, it is under discussion between our registry WG and us.
