| Abstract: |
A joint project between the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC) of the Canadian National
Research Council, and the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica-Osservatorio
Astronomico di Trieste (INAF-OATs), partially funded by the EGI-Engage
H2020 European Project, is devoted to deploy an integrated infrastructure
to access and exploit astronomical data. This infrastructure will be entirely based on the
International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) standards, see IOVA (2016).
Currently CADC-CANFAR provides scientists with an access, storage and computation
facility based on software libraries implementing a set of standards and recommendations developed
by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA).
The deployment of a twin infrastructure, basically built on the same open source
software libraries, has been started at INAF-OATs. Currently, this new infrastructure
provides users with an Access Control Service and a Storage Service. The final
goal of the ongoing project is to build an integrated infrastructure
providing complete interoperability between the two described geographically
distributed infrastructures, both in users access control and data sharing.
This paper describes the target infrastructure, the main user requirements
covered, the technical choices and implemented solutions. |
