Current Interoperating Services
Many interoperating services are already in place at ADEC sites. [I’ll move these to an appendix if we get some more entries from people. Guenther sent a list of services…]E.g.,
- ADC links to HEASARC, IRSA and MAST archives
- ADS links to all datasets associated with a given bibcode.
- HEASARC links to CXC and MAST data and provides access to all VizieR tables.
- IRSA suite of remotely accessible catalog and data services
- MAST provides transparent access to HEASARC ROSAT and EUVE archives
- NED links to multiple ADEC/non-ADEC data sources for many objects. NED name resolver used many places.
- Astrobrowse services at CXC, MAST and HEASARC.
No general framework for interoperations
- Limited capabilities
- Incompleteness/inconsistency
- Resource discovery is difficult
- Fragile links
