A Report on the National Consultation
on an Archive for Scientific and Research Data
Ottawa, November 2223 2004. Elizabeth Griffin and David Schade
Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, HIA, Victoria
Canadian Astronomical Data Centre, HIA, Victoria, BC       One month ago the Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa (previously the National Library of Canada) hosted an extraordinary meeting of 6070 high-level researchers, directors, presidents and managers of projects ranging from lexicography to oceanography, and representing organizations both nation-wide and individual concerns from coast to coast.  Convened under the auspices of CODATA Canada, the meeting examined the need, the will and the feasibility to create and operate a comprehensive national archive of scientific and science-related data.  Delegates heard from the Government Advisor for Science, from the sponsoring organizations (NSERC, the National Research Council, the Canadian Institute for Health Research and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation), with in-depth presentations by the SSHRC, Genome Canada and Industry Canada as well as from representatives within academia.
The Consultative Process
      Support for the tabled endeavour was unequivocal and enthusiastic, but the presentations merely set the scene for the work which the delegates were then to carry out.  The Forum was seeking as input a consensus vision of a national data archive; the delegates were divided among 8 tables and

ESO-project: Development of distributed data analysis system for extensive astronomical data
Background and motivation
Finland joined European Southern Observatory (ESO) in July 2004. ESO is one of the largest organizations for astronomical research in the world. As an in-kind contribution to the entrance fee to ESO, a challenging astrophysical data analysis software project will be initiated in Finland. The project is led by ESO and is coordinated by CSC in Finland. The other partner in Finland is Department of Astronomy University of Helsinki . An international web site of the project is available at http://www.eso.org/sampo Astronomy is entering a new era where a major fraction of research is carried out in data archives that are provided by virtual observatories . That is, the current trend in astronomy is that the astronomical research is moving in a greater extent from a discovery-driven science into a statistical science, in particular, when it comes to cosmology. The current trend of development is a consequence of the faster network connections, available federated multi-wavelength data archives, i.e.

    An idea for a European Astronomy A/V Lab
    Introduction
    making PR images VO compatible
    and thereby usable in a much wider context. General aims
    • To share the excitement of space with the public To encourage the younger generation to pursue science careers
    Specific aims
    • To develop innovative methods for visualisation and utilize these in visual and written communication To visualize the vast amounts of astronomical data from ground and space Disseminate these visualisation products to press, educators and public
    Possible implementation
    Some obvious questions for this European Astronomy A/V Lab are: Why now?
    1. Europe has never received so much excellent astronomical data as now flooding into archives in unrivalled quantities from ground and space, and this trend will continue in the future.
    2. We have never had as magnificent technologies for treating the data and making them available to laymen.
    Duration
    It is foreseen that the effort will need to be sustained to use the avalanche of accumulated know-how in the Laboratory and therefore need to run over an initial period of 3 to 5 years.

    http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/news/AVO/
    Press Release PR200107 5th December 2001
    Exploring the Digital Universe with Europe's Astrophysical Virtual Observatory
    A new European initiative called the Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (AVO) is being launched to provide astronomers with a breathtaking potential for new discoveries. It will enable them to seamlessly combine the data from both ground- and space-based telescopes which are making observations of the Universe across the whole range of wavelengths - from high-energy gamma rays through the ultraviolet and visible to the infrared and radio. The aim of the Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (AVO), which started on 15 November 2001, is to allow astronomers instant access to the vast databanks now being built up by the world's observatories and which are forming what is, in effect, a 'digital sky'. Using the AVO astronomers will, for example, be able to retrieve the elusive traces of the passage of an asteroid as it passes the Earth and so enable them to predict its future path and perhaps warn of a possible impact. When a giant star comes to the end of its life in a cataclysmic explosion called a supernova, they will be able to access the digital sky and pinpoint the star shortly before it exploded so adding invaluable data to the study of the evolution of stars. Modern observatories observe the sky continuously and data accumulates remorselessly in the digital archives. The growth rate is impressive and many hundreds of terabytes of data - corresponding to many thousands of billions of pixels - are already available to scientists. The real sky is being digitally reconstructed in the databanks! The richness and complexity of data and information available to the astronomers is overwhelming.

    1st High Energy Astrophysics Observatory ( HEAO 1. GSFC. NASA )
    The first of NASA's three High Energy Astronomy Observatories, HEAO 1 was launched aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket on 12 August 1977 and operated until 9 January 1979. During that time, it scanned the X-ray sky almost three times over 0.2 keV - 10 MeV, provided nearly constant monitoring of X-ray sources near the ecliptic poles, as well as more detailed studies of a number of objects through pointed observations.
    Advanced Stars: a Tool for Relating Informations and Data ( ASTRID )
    ASTRID is a data base of stars in an advanced evolutionary stage, peculiarly of red giants, AGB and post-AGB variables. The database gathers in the same tool observational data with comments and results from models.
    It is developed at GRAAL (Montpellier, France).
    Aladin Sky Atlas
    Aladin is an interactive sky atlas, developed at CDS (Strasbourg, France), allowing the user to visualize digitized images of any part of the sky, to superimpose entries from astronomical catalogs or personal user data files, and to interactively access related data and information from the Simbad, NED, and Vizier databases for all known objects in the field.
    The set of sky images consists of the STScI Digital Sky Survey (DSS-I and DSS-II), as well as an ensemble of higher resolution images (ESO-R and SERC plates) digitized at the MAMA facility in Paris.

    What is NVO?
    What Can NOAO Contribute to NVO?
    In addition to active participation in the national effort to create the NVO, present and planned activities at NOAO are also directed at making the Observatory a viable partner in the NVO and ensuring that the O/IR community represented by NOAO is able to take full advantage of the NVO capabilities as they come on line. To this end, NOAO is directing resources toward the establishment of an effective archive and data pipelining system that will accommodate current and future survey programs in the optical and IR regions. in particular, NOAO is building a pipeline processor and an accessible archive around the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey , together with other NOAO CCD Mosaic databases. Parallel with this activity is a new commitment of resources directed toward development of new data acquisition and analysis tools that will be readily available to the community and that can be directly incorporated into the suite of NVO software tools, such as the Data Access Layer. In addition to these purely internal activities, discussions are also being held with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory to explore common interests and common needs that are related to the NVO, in an effort to maximize effectiveness and minimize costs. Similar contacts are being made with the extant NASA observatories and data centers to establish links and eventual mutual archive access among these sites.
