Dear all,
the following is a summary of the VOQL-TEG activities since last feedback mail (on Feb 07).
Your comments are welcome. Should you belong to one of the projects with a representative on the VOQL-TEG, please make sure you put her/him on the loop.
Thanks.
Cheers,
P.
The VOQL-TEG has celebrated two more meetings:
VOQL-TEG Meeting #4 on Mar 8 2007
VOQL-TEG Meeting #5 on Apr 27 2007
The minutes of the meetings can be found at:
http://www.ivoa.net/forum/voql-teg/0703/0110.htm http://www.ivoa.net/forum/voql-teg/0704/0162.htm
respectively.
Since last meeting, we have concentrated in two main aspects:
o The ADQL is in a quite stable state. The latest Spec can be found at:
http://www.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/IvoaVOQL/ADQL-20070419.pdf
Some issues are still pending, and some actions (see Minutes of Meeting #5 for details) have been identified to try to close them.
The two most relevant pending issues for the moment are:
We will discuss these -and other- issues in Beijing (a separate mail will be sent to the whole VOQL community on Beijing issues).
o The TAP is a second priority for the VOQL-TEG group at this time. There are strong discussions on the scope and functionality of the eventual TAP. No summary is given here on this issue. More details can be found in the voql-teg mailing list archive. This will also be discussed in Beijing (details in separate mail as well).
All the discussions that have taken place so far within the VOQL-TEG can be found at:
