Data Access Meeting 2016-05-02

• Take strategic approach towards defining transport formats for VOTable/TAP (defer VOEvent to John Swinbank)

  1. Usability (JSON)
  2. Binary brevity and support (aka protobufs, Cap'n proto, avro, CBOR, etc...)
  3. Compatibility/Legacy (aka XML)

• SIAP v2
  1. V2 overlaps with imgserv some
  2. Understand additional requirements, LSST use cases

• Plan to come away with better knowledge of what DAX needs
• Read ADQL 2.1 spec - Brian Van Klaveren

SDSS:

1. Make available by Fall

WISE data:
1. Get schema ASAP so Serge can look it over
2. 700 million objects, 40 billion "forced source"
3. Images? imgserv? Not sure if this is necessary for WISE data.
4. "Start work in or before fall, be well on the way by the time SDSS is available" - Gregory Dubois-Felsmann
5. NCSA will evaluate security, whether or not to open up qserv to public
6. IPAC may be interested in using qserv (dax?) for IRSA if this works out good
7. Potentially colocate WISE and SDSS, allowing spatial joins.
