Publishing Combined Image & Spectral Data Packages Introduction to MEx M. Sierra, J.-C. Malapert, B. Rino VO ESO - Garching Virtual Observatory Info-Workshop January 24-25, 2008 ESO Overview Publish images and spectra of a given survey: Setup data centre infrastructure Populate an archive & search index Setup and register services Access services ESO Data Centre Components File Store Meta Data Repository Registry VO Client SSA Service SIA Service VO IFs: RI, SIA, SSA, UCD, VOTable ESO Data Ingest/Homogenezation DB FITS files keyword mapper database mapping definition database mapper specific data models per observing mode analysis codes... homogenization mapping unit conversion compute values... keyword mapping definition observatory specifics policy (business logic) bookkeeping... ESO Simple Access Protocols SIAP Protocol defining an uniform interface for retrieving image data from a variety of astronomical image repositories. A query defining a rectangular region on the CAR frame is used to query for candidate images. The service returns a list of candidate images formatted as a VOTable. For each candidate image an access reference URL may be used to retrieve the image. SSAP Protocol defining an uniform interface to remotely discover and access one dimensional spectra. SSA is based on a more general data model capable of describing most tabular spectrophotometric data, including time series and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) as well as 1-D spectra. Defines spatial (cone region), temporal, spectral and format queries.
