Further discussion of SWG input (http://www.eso.org/~ppadovan/SWG/).
The plan is to close on this and get to a summary of recommendations

discuss further the proposed science cases.

Discussion of http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/PublishDataToVO

MA emphasize architecture more strongly
AR more specific about spectra, images; give examples
PO suggests FAQ style, cookbook style; currently lots of lingo
MA something descriptive at the beginning
AR "Why should I want to publish data?" should be answered at beginning
PO teach people in dealing with meta data not just data
