Minutes

1.  Prototyping status

Dominik reported on the progress of the prototyping. ESOC to renew the 
contract with GMV for the continuation of the work in 2023.

Guillermo is updating the tables as discussed during the Toulouse meeting. 
The Yellow Book will be updated accordingly, but at a later stage.

2. Blue Book and EA model updates

The latest BB draft H and EA model draft W have been made available on the 
GDrive. There have been a lot of minor changes, summarised in a table also 
provided on the GDrive. Maria and Peter will review the changes during the 
next few weeks.

Roger raised a couple of issues, which were discussed and agreed during 
the meeting. Roger to update the BB accordingly. There is apparently a 
different way of defining types in SM&C BB tables compared to MP&S tables. 
This is not a major issue, and no action is required from Roger at the 
moment. This should however be discussed with SM&C, to possibly reach an 
agreement on a stable approach.

Roger also performed a first implementation for extracting the XML Service 
Specification directly from the Blue Book using macros. The intermediate 
results look promising, with a few minor issues still to be implemented by 
Roger. A concern was raised for any "hidden" constraints/requirements in 
the MAL Service Specification schemas and its interpretation by the 
upcoming the MAL implementation and also the visualisation tool. This 
should be aligned with SM&C (Cesar). The validation of the MP&S XML 
Service Specification will be performed as part of the prototyping, using 
the updated MAL implementation. Testing of the MAL implementation should 
start in advance, as agreed with Cesar during the Toulouse meeting.

The XML File Formats produced from the latest EA model were tested by 
Peter and worked without any problems or workarounds.

3. Blue Book agencies review

The current BB updates shall be reviewed and agreed. This will possible 
require another discussion during the next MP&S WG meeting.

In addition, Peter will perform some final checks (e.g. the links to the 
SANA Registry artefacts).

It was agreed that the BB figures shall be provided in a single ZIP. The 
EA diagrams will be provided as JPEGs (with sufficient resolution), as it 
will be difficult to create these in a SVG format. We will await any 
feedback from the Secretariat here, before taking any action from our 
side.

The BB will only be send to the MOIMS-AD for submission, once the above 
steps are finalised. Depending on the BB feedback, another discussion in 
the next WG meeting may be required first. As such, it is not possible to 
provide a firm date for the submission of the BB at the moment.

4. SpaceOps2023 conference paper

The paper should be completed before the end of January according to the 
deadline set by the SpaceOps organisation.

There is an action on Peter/Guillermo to provide the paper outline and 
introduction, preferably before the holidays.

Once provided, DLR and ESAC can add the specific information for the EnMAP 
and ExoMars TGO missions.

Subsequently, a splinter meeting shall then be planned to discuss these 
intermediate results, which should take place e.g. the second week of 
January.

5. AOB

The next MP&S WG meeting is planned for Wednesday 18 January 2023, 16:00 - 
18:00 CET.

Best regards,

Peter
