Abstract
For the past 10 years, VOResource, together with its extensions, has been the metadata schema used for service description and discovery in the Virtual Observatory (VO). We are currently evolving the core VOResource schema into a version 1.1, in particular to ensure smooth interoperability with the DataCite metadata kernel. In this contribution, we will give a brief overview of how and why VOResource has supplemented Dublin Core with “actionable” metadata, as well as how the current evolution will update it to provide easy paths for VO data providers into the DataCite world.
Highlights
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is a large network of astronomy-related data services and data collections, held together by commonly implemented protocols and a directory of services available. This directory is called the VO Registry and is maintained by an informal association of individuals from various institutions from around the world known as the Registry Working Group (RWG) of the IVOA (International Virtual Observatory Association)
The VO Registry conceptually is the collection of metadata records
We discuss how the use cases motivate the additions the VO community has made to the basic technologies
Summary
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is a large network of astronomy-related data services and data collections, held together by commonly implemented protocols and a directory of services available. This directory is called the VO Registry and is maintained by an informal association of individuals from various institutions from around the world known as the Registry Working Group (RWG) of the IVOA (International Virtual Observatory Association). We briefly illustrate the most common uses for this metadata collection. We discuss how the use cases motivate the additions the VO community has made to the basic technologies.
