The Auroral Planetary Imaging and Spectroscopy (APIS) service

The Auroral Planetary Imaging and Spectroscopy (APIS) service, accessible online, provides an open and interactive access to processed auroral observations of the outer planets and their satellites. Such observations are of interest for a wide community at the interface between planetology and magnetospheric and heliospheric physics. APIS consists of (i) a high level database, built from planetary auroral observations acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) since 1997 with its mostly used Far-UltraViolet spectro-imagers, (ii) a dedicated search interface aimed at browsing efficiently this database through relevant conditional search criteria and (iii) the ability to interactively work with the data online through plotting tools developed by the Virtual Observatory (VO) community, such as Aladin and Specview. This service is VO compliant and can therefore also been queried by external search tools of the VO community. The diversity of available data and the capability to sort them out by relevant physical criteria shall in particular facilitate statistical studies, on long-term scales and/or multi-instrumental multi-spectral combined analysis

VADMC: The Infrastructure

The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC; http://www.vamdc.eu) is a European-Union-funded collaboration between several groups involved in the generation, evaluation, and use of atomic and molecular data. VAMDC aims at building a secure, documented, flexible and interoperable e-Science environment-based interface to existing atomic and molecular databases. The global infrastructure of this project uses technologies derived from the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). The infrastructure, as well as the first database prototypes will be described

A New Reporting Web Application for IVOA Services Validation

International audienceParis Astronomical Data Centre (PADC) develops data centre activitiespromoting the Virtual Observatory at Paris Observatory. Our implicationin the development of standards and our participation to the IVOA(International Virtual Observatory Alliance) led us to develop servicevalidators for DAL (Data Access Layer) protocols. For the last 6 years,we have been daily checking the compliance of the web services availablethrough the IVOA Registry. In this paper, we describe a new webapplication developed to provide feedback of that validation process todata providers. Thanks to that tool, the providers can access globalresults for each service type, or filter the results to display onlytheir services. In both cases, the users can retrieve service compliancestatistics as well as detailed error reports, and easily check the mostcommon errors found for their services. We expect that this new webapplication will help data providers improve the compliance of theirservices with IVOA standards. Moreover, this work provides an exhaustiveview of the overall health of IVOA services
