achievements : research
political visibilitytechnology evaluationseveral impressive reportscontributions to standards
27-Apr-2004 AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk 9
achievements : engineering
bulk of engine room components portal, myspace, community, data access, workflow most of these being done by no other VO projects
contributions to working demossome released software
but few toolsand integration hard
27-Apr-2004 AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk 10
achievements : deployment
no real data deploymentprimitive working systemno users

the eightfold path
develop standards for data, metadata, data exchange and provenancedevelop a software infrastructure for data servicesestablish a physical grid of resources construct and maintain a Service and Resource Registryimplement a working VO system of real scientific use to astronomersprovide a user interface to that VO systemprovide or adapt a set of science user tools to work with the VOestablish a leading position for the UK in VO work
27-Apr-2004 AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk 15
progress (1-4)
develop standards for data, metadata, data exchange and provenanceon track through IVOA
develop a software infrastructure for data servicesgood progress
establish a physical grid of resources hardly started; needs DC co-operation
construct and maintain a Service and Resource Registrygood progress
27-Apr-2004 AstroGrid Consortium Meeting - PL talk 16
progress (5-8)
implement a working VO system of real scientific use to astronomersnot seriously attempted yet
provide a user interface to that VO systembasic technical components : gooduser friendly skin : thou jesteth
provide or adapt a set of science user tools to work with the VOprovide : officially abandoned due to lack of resourceadapt : good progress
establish a leading position for the UK in VO workexcellent but could still go backwards !

Delivery Philosophy
AstroGrid-1 will deliverAstroGrid-2 is not an excuse not a continuous programme
Descope if necessary : NOW

Two Projects
AstroGrid-A : 70% done generic VO s/w suite contributions to standards programme
AstroGrid-B : 10% done working implementation for UK
astronomers physical grid of resources

Deploymentcan't wait for Itn-08 : start nowneed to work with Data Centresneeds real data, real machinesneeds stable s/wneeds different mentality
special WGuse Itn-05 software

Releases
distinguish types of release internal s/w suite releases : I external s/w suite releases : E physical deployments : D
AGSAG see only D-typesworld VO projects see E-typesdata centres see E-types
