Hi,
VOSpace 1.0 uses URIs to identify properties, views (data formats) and transport protocols. It was agreed in Beijing that how these are registered is a parallel and independent task from getting VOSpace 1.0 to recommendation and that we would discuss this over the summer.
Well, as the summer is now upon us, let's discuss it. Paul Harrison put up a proposal some time ago at:
http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/VOSpace11Reg
The crux of the proposal is an extension schema for VOSpace services which, unfortunately, will have to go through the IVOA standardization process (if it is to be widely supported across all VO registries). I would like to have a working draft for this by the end of August for discussion at the interop.
If you have an opinion on the proposed schema, please make it known on the Twiki page by August 15 and on this list.
Cheers,
