Résumé

During the past four years the EuroPlaNet Integrated and Distributed Information System (IDIS) had developed into a functional prototype, which in the following years should grow into an effective support tool for all aspects of planetary sciences [1]. As planetary sciences encompass as diverse components as space exploration, ground- based observations, laboratory experiments and numerical modelling in several different scientific fields, it was decided early on in the project to divide the coordination responsibilities among different research institutes throughout Europe. The following thematic fields were selected, each associated with a specialized network node and its technical and scientific support staff as well as a group of experts in this field: Interiors and Surfaces of planets, Planetary Atmospheres, Space Plasma Sciences, Small Bodies and Dust in the Solar System and Planetary Dynamics. A sixth node,the “Technical Node” at the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, serves as coordinator and default gateway of the network. The main purpose of the technical node is to provide the technical management and the coordination of the network, monitor its performance and support the integration of new services into the distribute d structure. It cooperates closely with the other Europlanet-RI activities which are partly set up to develop advanced services for the network like a multi-discipline data model, data mining services, virtual observatory functionality for many data sets related to planetary sciences etc. Additionally the technical node is coordi nating the access to such services which are not clearly related to any of the thematic nodes like aspects of instrument or mission development for planetary space missions, ground test facilities and laboratories for instrument verification and qualification, general network access tools etc. Staff from the technical node is also directly involved in several of the other Europlanet-RI activities to make the integration more efficient.
