Abstract

This document is the result of a study by the IVOA Technical Coordination Committee with the intention of coordinating the IVOA Working Groups and Interest Groups. The study was commissioned by the Executive Committee in May 2005 and revised in June 2006, with the objectives of:

Elaborating the IVOA Architecture
Building a roadmap for the IVOA that is a union of roadmaps for the Working Groups and Interest Groups.
Ensuring productive crosstalk of the WG/IG so that workpackages cover relevant ground, but also do not overlap.
Evaluating dependencies of one WG/IG on another and minimizing impact.
Attaching milestones to the WG/IG roadmaps, representing planned achievements and target dates.
Ensuring an effective evaluation of proposed standards during the RFC period.
Providing a continuous reporting checkpoint to the IVOA Executive Committee on roadmap status.
