		| Abstract: | 
		After the first release of the LBT Distributed Archive, this
 successful collaboration is continuing within the LBT
 corporation. 
 The IA2
 (Italian Center for Astronomical Archive) team had updated the LBT DA
 with new features in order to facilitate user data retrieval while
 abiding by VO standards. 
 To facilitate the integration of data from any new instruments,
 we have migrated to a new database, developed
 new data distribution software, 
 and enhanced features in the LBT User Interface.
 The DBMS engine has been changed to
 MySQL. Consequently, the data handling software now uses java thread
 technology to update and synchronize the main storage archives on
 Mt. Graham and in Tucson, as well as archives in Trieste and
 Heidelberg, with all metadata and proprietary data. The LBT UI has
 been updated with additional features allowing users to search by
 instrument and some of the more important characteristics of the
 images. Finally, instead of a simple cone search service 
 over all LBT image data, new instrument specific SIAP and cone search services
 have been developed.  
 They will be published in the IVOA framework later this fall. |
