| Abstract: |
CoRoT (COnvection Rotation and Planetary Transits) is a mission led by the
French national space agency CNES, in collaboration with Austria, Spain,
Germany, Belgium and Brazil. The mission priority is dedicated to exoplanet
search and stellar seismology. CoRoT light curves database became public after
one year of their delivery to the CoRoT Co-Is, following the CoRoT data policy.
The CoRoT archive contains thousands of light curves in FITS format. Several
exoplanet search algorithms require detrend algorithms to remove both stellar
and instrumental signal, improving the chance to detect a transit. Different
detrend and transit detection algorithms can be applied to the same database.
Tracking the origin of the information and how the data was derived in each
level in the data analysis process is essential to allow sharing, reuse,
reprocessing and further analysis. This work aims at applying a formalized and
codified knowledge model by means of domain ontology. It allows to enrich the
data analysis with semantic and standardization. It holds the provenance
information in the database for a posteriori recovers by humans or software
agents. |
