4. VO Standards
The following questions are related to VO standards and protocols and how they may affect your project and the astronomy community as a whole.
4.1 If you plan to incorporate IVOA standards into your project, do you intend to integrate them directly into your project infrastructure, or do you plan to include an extra layer on top of your project framework? *
4.1.1 If applicable, please describe any details or comments on how you will or have incorporated IVOA support.
4.2 Do current IVOA formats and data model protocols provide the capabilities needed to efficiently encode and represent your project data in a manner that is consistent with your users' expectations? *
4.2.1 If not or partially, can you tell us what capabilities are missing or are not adequate for your project's needs?
4.3.1 Do current IVOA data access protocols provide the data discovery and access capabilities needed to support the data produced by your project? *
4.3.2 Do current IVOA data access protocols include the functionality that you and your users expect? *
4.3.3 Can you tell us what IVOA data access capabilities are missing or are inadequate for your project's needs?
4.4 Do you have sufficient information from the IVOA in an easily-accessible form to be able to robustly make the above assessments? *
4.5 If not, what else do you need to make these assessments?
4.6 What practical measures can be undertaken to encourage and facilitate the use of IVOA standards in your project? *
4.7 How can major astronomy projects be encouraged to participate directly in the future development of IVOA standards and infrastructure? *
4.8 What are the timescales for making decisions on including specific IVOA standards into you project? *
