Approved client-server authentication mechanisms are described for the IVOA single-sign-on profile: digital signatures (for SOAP services); TLS with passwords (for user sign-on points); TLS with client certificates (for everything else).…
This document lays out the foundations for VO and requirement refinement, abstractions of models, and instantiations. Also, VOs on abstractions and instantiations are considered.
Approved client-server authentication mechanisms are described for the IVOA single-sign-on profile: No Authentication; HTTP Basic Authentication; TLS with passwords; TLS with client certificates; Cookies; Open Authentication; Security…
Documenting frameworks provides its users and maintainers useful information on that software's architecture, design, and customization. Despite documentation's importance, the process of creating and maintaining it is considered to imply…
This draft is a working document, having a summary of nighty-four (94) papers with additional sections on Traceability of Software Requirements (Section 4), Formal Methods and Its Tools (Section 5), Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP)…
This paper is simply a collection of process diagrams for further use and reference. These are diagrams about different approaches to research.
This document describes an XML encoding standard for metadata about services implementing the table access protocol TAP [TAP], referred to as TAPRegExt. Instance documents are part of the service's registry record or can be obtained from…
In the 52-page document, we describe our approach to the Software Requirements Specification of the IUfA's UUIS prototype. This includes the overall system description, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, use cases, the…
An application that queries or consumes descriptions of VO resources must be able to recognize a resource's support for standard IVOA protocols. This specification describes how to describe a service that supports any of the four…

This document discusses the definition of the Parameter Description Language (PDL). In this language parameters are described in a rigorous data model. With no loss of generality, we will represent this data model using XML. It intends to…
An IVOA Identifier is a globally unique name for a resource within the Virtual Observatory. This name can be used to retrieve a unique description of the resource from an IVOA-compliant registry or to identify an entity like a dataset or a…
The Software Design Document of UUIS describes the prototype design details of the system architecture, database layer, deployment and configuration details as well as test cases produced while working the design and implementation of the…
This document describes the Data Access Layer Interface (DALI). DALI defines the base web service interface common to all Data Access Layer (DAL) services. This standard defines the behaviour of common resources, the meaning and use of…
This document defines the high level metadata necessary to describe the physical parameter space of observed or simulated astronomical data sets, such as 2D-images, data cubes, X-ray event lists, IFU data, etc.. The Characterisation data…
We give a brief characterisation of the purposes and forms of documentation in and of spreadsheets.
Formal methods play a fundamental role in asserting the correctness of requirements specifications. However, historically, formal method experts have primarily focused on verifying those specifications. Although equally important,…
Document understanding and information extraction include different tasks to understand a document and extract valuable information automatically. Recently, there has been a rising demand for developing document understanding among…
VODataService refers to an XML encoding standard for a specialized extension of the IVOA Resource Metadata that is useful for describing data collections and the services that access them. It is defined as an extension of the core resource…
Recently, Le and Mikolov (2014) proposed doc2vec as an extension to word2vec (Mikolov et al., 2013a) to learn document-level embeddings. Despite promising results in the original paper, others have struggled to reproduce those results. This…
