Abstract
The ASI Science Data Center offers to the scientific users various web services, such as the Multi-frequency Data Explorer (MDE), allowing to perform a multi-frequency analysis of astronomical sources. This is achieved by using catalogs and astronomical data in different energy bands, present at ASDC and / or in external services (NED, SIMBAD, Vizier, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, etc..), which allow immediate access to spectral, spatial and temporal information and their comparison. The ASDC tools (as the "Data Explorer") are interfaced with the ASDC scientific RDBMS for astronomical catalogs, ASDC-Browse, for storing and selecting information related to sources of interest in the available catalogs. Browse DBs are then used to create specific ASDC web pages of public astronomical catalogs of interest for ASDC projects and/or for the scientific community. The pages include interactive JS tables allowing to activate the ASDC web services for each specific source. The purpose of this document is to give a simple technical description to procedure of creation of new ASDC specific catalogs web pages. The update of some ASDC “recipes” is useful to produce and maintain standard products for the ASDC web services.
