		| Abstract: | 
		We discuss current efforts behind the curation of observing proposals,
 archive bibliographies, and data links in the NASA Astrophysics Data
 System (ADS).  The primary data in the ADS is the bibliographic
 content from scholarly articles in Astronomy and Physics, which ADS
 aggregates from publishers, arXiv and conference proceeding sites.
 This core bibliographic information is then further enriched by ADS
 via the generation of citations and usage data, and through the
 aggregation of external resources from astronomy data archives and
 libraries.  Important sources of such additional information are the
 metadata describing observing proposals and high level data products,
 which, once ingested in ADS, become easily discoverable and citeable
 by the science community.  Bibliographic studies have
 shown that the integration of links between data archives and the ADS
 provides greater visibility to data products and increased citations
 to the literature associated with them. |
