action items:
MD+GR generate a plan for the x-matcher and get blessing from Astrogrid management; FG should be kept in the loop
PP talk to Ivo about specview for FORS2
AR let FG know which catalog is the one from Pezzuto
FG check with FB about the International Galactic Plane Survey
AR+MA arrange telecon with Pedro
MD state on download page that AVO prototype does currently not work at sites with web proxies

ML (a) update http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/SwgMeeting04 ...
PP+NW (b) ... talk about SWG meeting agenda ...
PP (c) ... then send reminder to SWG


notes:

extragalactic case:
http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/ExtragalacticScenario

Discussion on cross matching algorithm 
see email by MD - will create wiki page
MA Possible issue: Size of cutouts (1K x 1K) vs. frame size (8K x 8K)

FG: suggests to add logo to specview

NW: Any issues concerning spurious x-match? 
PR: Quality indicator in FORS2 catalogue.
PP: Will be able to estimate that based on correlation radius. 

PP: Progress on phot-z issue (flow dia. 3.2.4.1)? 
NW: working on it, right now using ACS data only 

FG+MA: seek further details concerning data access

PR has collected most of the FORS2 spectra of the Chandra sources obtained
by the CDFS team. A table with positions, redshifts, and classification
is also available.  

galactic case:
http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/GalacticScenario

MA: Test next week spectrum access to ISO archive.

AR: Timo supports idea to identify water line; it needs to be tested whether 
data quality of ISO spectra is sufficient
3 proposed cases:
1. Chamaeleon
2. NGC 1333
3. Glimpse: schedule is uncertain
(Glimpse stands for Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire)

AR needs to solve ISO data access for images as well to proceed 
AR and MA will talk to Pedro at ISO next week 

Catalogue from Pezzuto is available in html format (see action)

Testing: Authors of the sci. cases lead effort once software becomes
available AVO prototype should be rebuilt and released as soon as
Specview with FORS2 support becomes available.  
Goal - run demos by the time of December meeting; individual
components do not need to be fully integrated at this time
