| Title | Databases & On-line Data in Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Albrecht, M.A;Egret, D |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1991. |
| Description | XIV, 273 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Data archiving has, for many years, been the most disregarded aspect of all data systems. The increase in numbers of telescopes, both groundbased and space-borne, and the increase in efficiency of detectors have generated overwhelming amounts of data. Much of these data were and are not used on short timescales and (should) have been archived, where they can be used later and/or by others. Archiving is essential. Objects can change in the course of time. New technological or scientific developments might require observing objects again. The cost-benefit ratio will become more and more important when considering the allocation of telescope time. The retrieval of `old' data can then be crucial. At present there are a number of data collections and data retrieval systems. This book includes a series of clear and up-to-date descriptions of many important available data systems. For professional astronomers, librarians and computer engineers |

| Title | Information & On-Line Data in Astronomy |
| Author(s) | Egret, D;Albrecht, M.A |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1995. |
| Description | XI, 291 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The ability of storing, managing, and giving access to the huge quantity of data collected by astronomical observatories is one of the major challenges of modern astronomy. At the same time, the growing complexity of data systems implies a change of concepts: the scientist has to manipulate data as well as information. Recent developments of the `WorldWideWeb' bring interesting answers to these problems. The book presents a wide selection of databases, archives, data centers, and information systems. Clear and up-to-date descriptions are included, together with their scientific context and motivations. Audience: This volume provides an essential tool for astronomers, librarians, data specialists and computer engineers |
