| Abstract: |
Here we present GOM.FITS, a software solution for storing FITS metadata in a
relational database according to a data model that treats every type of FITS
file in a fully generic way. This solution has been used to publish various data
sets through IVOA standards, but is generally useful in the management of large
heterogeneous FITS catalogues, such as those derived from IVOA-like distributed
queries. We motivate and describe the solution, show how to use it for
discovering contents of such archives, and how to use simple SQL queries to map
the model contents to any standard specified by organizations such as the IVOA. |
