ASPID-SR: Prototype of a VO-compliant Science-Ready Data Archive

Abstract

ASPID stands for the "Archive of Spectral, Photometric, and Interferometric Data". The world largest collection of raw 3D spectroscopic observations of galactic and extragalactic sources is provided. ASPID-SR is a prototype of an archive of heterogeneous science ready data, fed by ASPID, where we try to exploit all the power of the IVOA Characterisation Data Model. Multi-level Characterisation metadata is provided for every dataset. The archive provides powerful metadata query mechanism with access to every data model element, vital for the efficient scientific usage of a complex informational system. We provide a set of access interfaces: SIAP/SSAP, HTTP-based characterisation metadata query, Web-service accepting ADQL/x.
