  Working Groups plenary: short, medium & long-term priorities


  Priorities?

  Short term

  WG1

  Vizier - next level of org.: vis/access grid integration

- use the AG to leverage the vis. community - eat own dogfood

- Vizier is v short term


  Funding sources?

  not needed initially

  Could be a steering grp that actions WGs (in theGGF?)

- UK group can bring together people easily - helps us focus when we go to GGF

- NeSC event lightweight to organise

- projects use NeSC fo project meetings


  Ken to lead on summarising this meeting

- which might lead to proposals for working grps to take further (eg ontology)

- invite ontology community to help

- need for action on Chromium etc


  Examples of WGs?

  collate/generate use cases/scenarios of eSci-vis. in action

  What would be the focus of another meeting like this? (agreed this would be another 2 day event)

  What would be the focus of another meeting like this?

  Same thing?

  WG2

  A Steering Cttee

- put on forums like this

- broker links between providers and consumers

- facilitate devpt of an ontology


  Same thing?

  WG3

  Community building: an email listserv... shared repository of materials

  there was an EPSRC club that ended... which worked

  ltd scope - most useful thing was briefing meetings, rather than strategic devpt

  we need something more action-oriented

  WG4

  'Vizier' to provide a focus for the UK vis. community (what is it?) eScience-specific?

- a portal?

- a network?

- an organisation?

- a GGF group?


  WG5

  Scheduling of resources (co-allocation)

  Medium term

- perhaps, having written a skeleton report... move towards GGF involvement


  WG1

  Composable vis. services deployable (in an OGSA frameowrk) supportnig co-allocation of resources

  non trivial, but a lot of people working towards this...

  similar? (data standards)

  similar?

  WG2

  Widen to GGF (eg ontology)

  WG3

  GGF Vis Working Grp

- target W3C vs GGF?


  similar?

  WG4

  Teaching visualization to students and practitioners - a Curriculum Working Group

- need to collate existing courses/tutorials etc

- difference between teaching good/bad visual communication and computer science orientation


  SIGGRAPH educ cttee could be a forum for this

- they're setting up a resource repository


  EuroGraphics educ track

  WG5

  Interoperability between tools

  similar? (data standards)

  Long term

  WG1

  Semantic searches - exploitnig semantic web in service of vis. community

  WG2

  Toolkit level integration - create services

  similar?

  WG3

  Standards for advanced interfaces to support lots of platforms, etc

- advanced interfaces supporting highly interactive heterogeneous networks/collaborations on the Grid


  WG4

  Presence in key strategic groups (eg. Research Councils, GGF)

  similar?

  WG5

  Enable data flow in both directions in an IV pipeline

  What would be the focus of another meeting like this?


  What would be the focus of another meeting like this? (agreed this would be another 2 day event)

  A discussion doc on vis and escience that might end up going to GGF

  an appendix could be a draft ontology

  bring in other vis communities who aren't here

geographical, others...


  if there was a web devpt group, could review its state

  Who could host it?

  Who could build it?

  revisit medium and long term priorities

  an overview of packages/formats/ standards

  an experiment to do vis. in an AG meeting room context

  case study from reqts to prototype

  IP issues?

have to ensure that this was addressed in a business case study etc


  refine idea of vis. services

  What happens at the NERC meeting?

  updates on projects
