Euro-VO Astronomical Infrastructure for Data Access (EuroVO-AIDA)

Project Id

RI-212104

Abstract

The concept of a Virtual Observatory (VObs) is that the entire world’s astronomical data should feel like it sits on the astronomer’s desktop, analysable with a user selected workbench of tools and made available through a standard interface. The European Virtual Observatory, Euro-VO is the European implementation of this idea, which aims at giving users seamless access to the heterogeneous, distributed, and in general freely accessible data and services provided by the astronomical data centers. The EuroVO-AIDA project will lead the transition of Euro-VO into an operational phase. EuroVO-AIDA integrates the networking, service and technology activities of Euro-VO into a fully functioning system. The result will be an operating knowledge infrastructure that enables and stimulates new scientific usage of astronomy digital repositories.
