‣ Established in 1987 (before the WWW!) as a portal for accessing astronomical data and bibliographic metadata

‣ Was structured in 1994 to become an A&I service for astronomers and astrophysicists, with a full-text archive

‣ Has 100% penetration in the astronomical community, with take-up in other areas of space sciences, engineering and physics
