The National Virtual Observatory
As a scientific discipline, Astronomy is rather unique. We only have one laboratory, the Universe, and we cannot, of course, change the initial conditions and study the resulting effects. On top of this, acquiring Astronomical data has historically been a very labor-intensive effort. As a result, data has traditionally been preserved for posterity. With recent technological advances, however, t...
متن کاملTowards a National Virtual Observatory
In the near future several new surveys will provide tens of Terabytes of catalogued data for the astronomy community. The archives for these projects are currently being designed. Soon there will be an enormous pressure from the whole astronomical community to integrate these separate archives into a seamlessly interoperating entity. The public access of such amounts of data, and the necessary ...
متن کاملThe New Paradigm : Novel , Virtual Observatory Enabled Science
A virtual observatory will not only enhance many current scientific investigations, but it will also enable entirely new scientific explorations due to both the federation of vast amounts of multiwavelength data and the new archival services which will, as a necessity, be developed. The detailing of specific science use cases is important in order to properly facilitate the development of the n...
متن کاملThe Virtual Observatory Registry
In the Virtual Observatory (VO), the Registry provides the mechanism with which users and applications discover and select resources – typically, data and services – that are relevant for a particular scientific problem. Even though the VO adopted technologies in particular from the bibliographic community where available, building the Registry system involved a major standardisation effort, in...
متن کاملGrids and the Virtual Observatory
We consider several projects from astronomy that benefit from the Grid paradigm and associated technology, many of which involve either massive datasets or the federation of multiple datasets. We cover image computation (mosaicking, multi-wavelength images, and synoptic surveys); database computation (representation through XML, data mining, and visualization); and semantic interoperability (pu...
