<br />
---++ Materials and notes from the work group and plenary sessions

---+++ Asynchronicity

---++++ Materials
   * IVOA.AsynchronousActivityProposal
   * [[%ATTACHURL%/async-activity-ivoa-may-2004.ppt][PowerPoint slides from Tuesday session]]

---++++ Resolutions
   * This proposal to be developed further.
   * Use of WS-RF is acceptable.
   * WS-BaseNotification should be optional.

---++++ Issues
   * Does WS-BaseNotification do reliable messaging? Does it need to?
   * Need some WS-RF prototypes.

---++++ Actions
   * Find out if WS-BaseNotification has reliable-messaging semantics (GuyRixon).


<br/>
---+++ VObs Support Interfaces (originally called "Standard interfaces")

---++++ Materials
   * [[http://wiki.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/InterOpMay2004GridAndWebServices/StandardInterfaces-0.1.pdf][V0.1 of specification]]
   * [[http://wiki.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/InterOpMay2004GridAndWebServices/VObsService.wsdl][Possible WSDL for v0.1]]
   * [[http://wiki.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/InterOpMay2004GridAndWebServices/availability.xsd][Possible XSD for v0.1]]
   *  [[%ATTACHURL%/STDIFboston.ppt][PowerPoint slides from Tuesday session]]

---++++ Resolutions
   * Renamed from "standard interfaces" to "VObs support interfaces".
   * All three port-types to be specified.
   * getRegistration (was getMetadata, now renamed) to be optional.
   * getAvailability (a.k.a. "heartbeat") to be mandatory.
   * harvestLog to be optional.
   * Progress to concrete design (WSDL, XSD, prototypes) ASAP.

---++++ Actions
   * Revise document to v0.2 with detail changes (WilliamOMullane)

---++++ Issues
   * May need to apply access control to harvestLog
   * Unclear if registries will actually use getRegistration.


<br/>
---+++ Access control

---++++ Materials
   * [[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wss][OASIS WS-Security standards (technical committee page)]]
   * [[http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicSecurity/2004-02/SecurityScenarios-0.15-WGD.pdf][WS-I scenarios for web-service security]]
   * IVOA.SingleSignOnProposal
   * [[%ATTACHURL%/sso-ivoa-may-2004.ppt][PowerPoint slides from Tuesday session]]

---++++ Resolutions
   * A SSO system based on digital signature and WS-Security is basically suitable for the IVO.
   * Use of community services (run by real-world, astronomical communities) is a good way to manage users.
   * Split the current proposal into two IVOA documents: (1) wire protocol; (2) Public Key Infrastructure/community services.
   * Only community services for authentication should be tackled now. Community authorization is separate and might not be required.
   * We need to understand the technology better before deploying it.

---++++ Issues
   * Is WS-Security compatible with "Shibboleth"?
   * Is WS-Security compatible with grid services/portals?
   * Will service providers acccept our SSO arrangements?
   * Can we handle 100+ communities? Do we expect that many?
   * How do we prevent spoofing of community services (allows stealing of passwords)?
   * How do we delegate work from one service to another?

---++++ Actions
   * Check compatibility of WS-Security with other systems (GuyRixon)


<br/>
---+++ SOAP interoperability

---++++ Materials
   * [[http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0-2004-04-16.html][WS-I Basic Profile 1.0]]
   * [[%ATTACHURL%/WordsAbout-WS-I-BP.pdf][A few words about the WS-I Basic Profile]]

---++++ Resolutions
   * We adopt WS-I conformance as a goal, subject to support from our web-service toolkits.

---++++ Actions
   * Collect existing conformance-reports for web-service toolkits (AndreSchaaff).
   * Arrange testing programmes for implementations of IVOA services (AndreSchaaff)
   * Collect and publish conformance reports donated by IVOA members (AndreSchaaff).

---++++ Issues
   * Axis v1.1 may be too non-conformant to use; might need to adopt Axis v1.2 beta before its final release.


---+++ Distributed storage

---++++ Resolutions
   * This is now a work package for GWS-WG.
   * Aim for a common, standard facade to existing storage systems (<nop>MyDB, <nop>MySpace, <nop>SRB, etc.)


---++++ Actions
   * Produce a technical proposal (David Morris, WilliamOMullane)
