Atomic and Molecular Databases, VAMDC (Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre)

Abstract

The "Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre Consortium",(VAMDC Consortium, http://www.vamdc.eu) is a Consortium bound by an Memorandum of Understanding aiming at ensuring the sustainability of the VAMDC e-infrastructure. The current VAMDC e-infrastructure inter-connects about 30 atomic and molecular databases with the number of connected databases increasing every year: some databases are well-known databases such as CDMS, JPL, HITRAN, VALD,.., other databases have been created since the start of VAMDC. About 90% of our databases are used for astrophysical applications. The data can be queried, retrieved, visualized in a single format from a general portal (http://portal.vamdc.eu) and VAMDC is also developing standalone tools in order to retrieve and handle the data. VAMDC provides software and support in order to include databases within the VAMDC e-infrastructure. One current feature of VAMDC is the constrained environnement of description of data that ensures a higher quality for distribution of data; a future feature is the link of VAMDC with evaluation/validation groups. The talk will present the VAMDC Consortium and the VAMDC e infrastructure with its underlying technology, its services, its science use cases and its etension towards other communities than the academic research community.
