My idea is that the VOEventRepository is registered with each IVOA registry. There are currently four of these planned or operational (Exeter, Los Alamos, Tucson, Pasadena). The VOEventRepository will thus need a schema for its description (what types of events, who is in charge, etc). I wish I knew how to start making such a schema. Should I somehow "extend" the registry schema, or should I start with a blank canvas?
The VOEventRepository itself will also need to respond to queries (an interface). Queries like "Please resolve this event ID", and "Please run this Xquery against your event database", and "Please subscribe me for Swift events". This interface should be standard across the four repositories. I wish I knew how to start making such an interface. Should I somehow "extend" the registry interface, or should I start with a blank canvas?
