AstroDAbis:远程编目的注释和交叉匹配

AstroDAbis: Annotations and Cross-Matches for Remote Catalogues

Norman Gray, Robert G Mann, Dave Morris, Mark Holliman, Keith Noddle

摘要:

天文学家擅长分享数据,但不擅长分享知识。几乎所有的天文数据最终都在开放的档案中,全球虚拟天文台(VO)的发展简化了对这些数据的访问。这是一个巨大的进步,但根本的问题仍然是,这些档案只包含基本的观测数据,而所有这些数据的天体物理学解释-哪个来源是类星体,哪个是低质量恒星,以及哪个是图像人工制品-都包含在期刊论文中,从文献到原始数据档案的链接很少。因此,目前天文学家不可能提出这样的查询:“给我这个数据档案中已被确定为类星体的所有来源”,这限制了对这些档案的有效利用,因为档案的用户没有直接的手段来利用其以前的用户所获得的知识。AstroDAbis服务旨在解决这一问题,其原型服务使天文学家能够在AstroDAbis服务中记录注释和交叉识别,注释其他目录中的对象。我们已经部署了两个接口的注释,即一个天文学特定的一个使用TAP协议,第二个利用通用的链接开放数据(LOD)和RDF技术。

英文摘要:

Astronomers are good at sharing data, but poorer at sharing knowledge. Almost all astronomical data ends up in open archives, and access to these is being simplified by the development of the global Virtual Observatory (VO). This is a great advance, but the fundamental problem remains that these archives contain only basic observational data, whereas all the astrophysical interpretation of that data -- which source is a quasar, which a low-mass star, and which an image artefact -- is contained in journal papers, with very little linkage back from the literature to the original data archives. It is therefore currently impossible for an astronomer to pose a query like "give me all sources in this data archive that have been identified as quasars" and this limits the effective exploitation of these archives, as the user of an archive has no direct means of taking advantage of the knowledge derived by its previous users. The AstroDAbis service aims to address this, in a prototype service enabling astronomers to record annotations and cross-identifications in the AstroDAbis service, annotating objects in other catalogues. We have deployed two interfaces to the annotations, namely one astronomy-specific one using the TAP protocol}, and a second exploiting generic Linked Open Data (LOD) and RDF techniques.
