| Abstract: |
The last decades have witnessed a strong increase in the amount of
data coming from astronomical surveys. These data are exploited by
large international collaborations of scientists working around the
same scientific goals.
The regular request of high data-quality control, fast data access via
easy-to-use graphic interfaces, as well as the possibility to cross
correlate information coming from different observations motivate the
use of scientific information systems.
The CeSAM (Centre de donneéS Astronomiques de Marseille) data center
answers to the aforementioned needs offering a specialized database
service to the contemporary large astrophysical surveys (VVDS, GALEX,
HST-COSMOS, Hershel, CoRoT, etc.).
We here focus our attention on the HST-COSMOS and zCOSMOS
information systems, recently opened to the scientific community. We
are dealing with data coming from the largest ever-undertaken
cosmological survey. The associated database has the specificity to
archive, visualize and correlate multi-wavelength and spectroscopic
datasets. |
