The following tables summarize the software and data products necessary to build the Data Flow system for each instrument. It is assumed that the Data Flow system infrastructure software exists (generic Phase II software, pipeline, instrument models) and is identical for all VLT instruments. The responsibilities, associated documentation and development plan will be detailed in the next Sections. It must be noted that although the persons involved may belong to different divisions, they work in this context in a single work package under the responsibility of the Instrument Responsible. The tables list the person producing the different components of the instrument specific parts of the Data Flow. The responsibility for these products is, for the documents with the author and approvers of the document, for the software products with the developer and its group leader. All data products are under the responsibility of the instrument scientist.
