Hi folks,
I wanted to alert you to some updates relevent to our upgrade efforts. I have been using the RegUpgradeSummer2006 twiki page (http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/RegUpgradeSummer2006) to post items that are most relevent to this work, and all of the items I mention below have links from that page.
o The RI working draft has now been released to the document repository
(http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/RegistryInterface.html). It
differs from Kevin's last release only in mostly typographical ways.
o I've submitted the "official" WSDLs and the RegistryInterface schema
to Bruno for posting on the IVOA web site. You can also access these
from RegUpgradeSummer2006 twiki page:
+ RegistrySearch-v1.0.wsdl
+ RegistryHarvest-v1.0.wsdl
+ RegistryInterface-v1.0.xsd
These are equivalent to the versions that Kevin released previously.
Note that the filenames are switched about from what he used (not
that this matters much at all); I did this to make the filenames
consistent with the namespace names.
o VOResource spec has been updated for the changes recommended in
Moscow.
o The latest versions of the current IVOA-sponsored schemas are
available at RegUpgradeSummer2006. Only VOResource-v1.0.xsd has
actually changed in terms of its definition (to status required). I
also added OpenSkyQuery-v0.2.xsd.
o There is a new conversion stylesheet. To get the namespace handling
to come out correctly, I had to go with a v2.0 XSL stylesheet, so I
also posted a XSLTv2 engine library (saxon8).
It sounds like we may have some late additions to set of "IVOA-sponsored" registry schemas, including:
+ SSA: to simple spectral access services
+ VOStandard-v0.2: to describe named properties associated with a std.
+ VOSpace (?)
+ VOApplication: (What's the status for this on?)
Note that none of us [registry developers] are required to fully support searching against the data models defined by these extra schemas. Rather, your harvester needs to detect the use of a resource type you don't recognize and extract out the bits you do recognize.
cheers,
Ray
