| Abstract: |
The NVO Open SkyQuery portal allows users to query large, physically distributed databases of astronomical objects such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, 2MASS catalog, ROSAT All-Sky Survey, and the FIRST and NVSS radio surveys. Queries can be generated through a simple forms-based interface or through an advanced query page in which the user generates a SQL-type query. The available databases are determined by examining the NVO registry, so that as new databases are published as SkyNodes they immediately become available to Open SkyQuery. |
