The NVODS (a.k.a. VODHub) project has completed the planning stage, the first year
of a three year effort. Specifically,
- the NVODS niche has been identified,
- the user population has been defined,
- criteria for the success of the current phase of the project have been formulated, and
- a strategy has been articulated for the remaining two years.
In anticipation of some of the recommendations that would emerge from the first
year, a number of implementation steps have also been undertaken:
- a new release of the basic system has been completed,
- servers have been installed at a number of new sites,
- a listing of NVODS-accessible data has been developed, and
- access to a number of data sets via LAS has been provided.
