Title: | Acquisition, integration and updating of astronomical catalogs in the ASDC Browse DBMS and Web Services | Authors: | LETO, Cristina VERRECCHIA, Francesco |
Issue Date: | 2014 | 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 invoking 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 scientific community. The pages include Javascript tables allowing to activate the ASDC web services for each specific source. The purpose of this document is a simple technical description of the procedure of dissemination of new astronomical source catalogs among the ASDC web pages and web services. The creation of some ASDC “recipes” is useful and it is requested within the MVO ASDC team (Multi-frequency and Virtual Observatory team), to create a reference on the standards of the ASDC scientific services, when new results are achieved by specific missions and new projects/missions are acquired. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34148 | Fulltext: | reserved |
