Description
According DMS-REQ-0329, Data Release Production is responsible for generating “co-adds suitable for use in all-sky visualization tools”.
HiPS (http://www.ivoa.net/documents/HiPS/index.html) and MOC(http://www.ivoa.net/documents/MOC/index.html) are becoming the standard in representing all-sky images and coverages. This RFC requests that DM adopt those two standards and make the corresponding data products to fulfill the above DMS requirement.
This does not replace any other data products that DM already committed to generate.
This could allow us to use HEALPix to do all-sky binning, and spatial index.

I want to declare it adopted. There should be other RFCs to plan HiPS and MOC data generation software development and operations, the effect on storage and computing resources.
Gregory Dubois-Felsmann which requirements document are you wanting to update? Are you also intending to update DPDD?
I don't see any objection to this RFC being adopted. Please ensure that the triggered tickets are clear as to which documents need to be modified to record the decision.
