A Planetary Science VO prototype
Résumé
The goal of the JRA4 Work Package of Europlanet-RI was to set the basis for a European Virtual Observatory in Planetary Science. The objective in this first step was to save time during searches in big archives and small databases, as well as to facilitate data access and visualization. The system is based on a new access protocol based on TAP, a specific client to query the available services, and intensive recycling of tools developed for the Astronomy VO. Some new databases were also produced in the EuroPlaNet-RI framework and are available in this context. This system should be extensible to all fields of Planetary Science, and open to external data providers.
