The New Paradigm : Novel , Virtual Observatory Enabled Science
نویسنده
چکیده
A virtual observatory will not only enhance many current scientific investigations, but it will also enable entirely new scientific explorations due to both the federation of vast amounts of multiwavelength data and the new archival services which will, as a necessity, be developed. The detailing of specific science use cases is important in order to properly facilitate the development of the necessary infrastructure of a virtual observatory. The understanding of high velocity clouds is presented as an example science use case, demonstrating the future synergy between the data (either catalog or images), and the desired analysis in the new paradigm of a virtual observatory.

Semantically-Enabled Large-Scale Science Data Repositories
Large heterogeneous online repositories of scientific information have the potential to change the way science is done today. In order for this potential to be realized, numerous challenges must be addressed concerning access to and interoperability of the online scientific data. In our work, we are using semantic web technologies to improve access and interoperability by providing a framework ...
متن کاملAstronomical Research Using Virtual Observatories
The Virtual Observatory (VO) for Astronomy is a framework that empowers astronomical research by providing standard methods to find, access, and utilize astronomical data archives distributed around the world. VO projects in the world have been strenuously developing VO software tools and/or portal systems. Interoperability among VO projects has been achieved with the VO standard protocols defi...
متن کاملThe Digital Sky Project : Prototyping Virtual Observatory Technologies
Astronomy is entering a new era as multiple, large area, digital sky surveys are in production. The resulting datasets are truly remarkable in their own right; however, a revolutionary step arises in the aggregation of complimentary multi-wavelength surveys (i.e., the cross-identification of a billion sources). The federation of these large datasets is already underway, and is producing a major...

متن کاملE-science meets computational science and information technology
Over the last decade or so, there has been much discussion of and progress in computational science. There was the HPCC (High Performance Computing and Communications) Initiative and the NSF Grand Challenge programs which largely focused on this. However recently there has been a subtle change – for example NSF initiated the ITR (Information Technology Research) program based on the recommendat...
