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
