There are many parallel efforts to SPDML and related links
are available here:
- SPASE (Space Physics Archive Search and Extract)
is developing a data model that includes the structure of messages passed between systems,
how to enrich data for interchange and archiving, and a data dictionary defining all terms and
keywords used in their system.
- PDS (Planetary Data System) archives and distributes
scientific data from NASA planetary missions, astronomical observations and laboratory
measurements.
- Astrobrowse enables
astronomers (and the public) to query many sites easily to get information about
astronomical objects.
- EGSO (European Grid of Solar Observations) is a Grid test-
bed that will lay the foundations of a "virtual solar observatory".
- INFEO (INFormation on Earth
Observation) offers access to earth observation information & services, and data catalogues
around the world.
- CDAWeb (Coordinated Data Analysis Web) data service
supports graphics, digital listings and simultaneous multi-mission, multi-instrument
selection and comparison of science data among a wide range of current space missions;
from ground-based facilities; from older space missions; and for key data dedicated to use
by specific science teams.
- Formats Evolution Process provides "a
community dialogue to influence science data format evolution and usage"
- NASA's Data Mining Resources for
Space Science provides a collection of resources and information on Space Science Data
Mining.
- NCDM (National Center for Data Mining) serves as a
national resource for high performance and distributed data mining.
- Sun Earth Connector is developing models and
technologies that enable effective coordination and cooperation of distributed scientists,
sensors and other resources to analyze the sun-earth casual connection.
- OMNIWeb Near-Earth Heliosphere Data is
the compilation of hourly resolution interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data in GSE and
GSM components, and plasma data, energetic particle fluxes and some solar and geomagnetic
activity indices.
- NSSDC (National Space Science Data Center)
archives and provides access to a wide variety of astrophysics, space physics, solar
physics, lunar and planetary data from NASA space flight missions, in addition to
selected other data and some models and software.
- CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of
Atmospheric Regions)
formerly the Incoherrent Scatter Radar Data Base is a cooperative project between NCAR and several
institutions that provide upper atmosphere data and model output for community use. CEDAR
is designed to enhance the capability of ground-based instruments to measure the upper
atmosphere and to coordinate instrument and model data for the benefit of the scientific
community.
- Madrigal
is an on-line incoherrent scatter database which now also contains data from a variety of
upper-atmosphere research instruments. Madrigal is a robust, WWW based system capable of
managing and serving archival and real-time data, in a variety of formats, from a wide
range of instruments.
- The CDPP (Center de Donnees de la Physique des Plasmas)
is a data center serving the space plasma physics community. It's primary purpose is to
preserve data relevant to the physics of natually occurring plasmas, especially data from
experiments which are either French or ahve strong French participation; the CDPP both
renders this data accessible and facilitates its exploitation.
- Solarsoft
is a set of integrated software libraries, databases, and system utilities which provide a
common programming and data analysis environment for Solar Physics.
- SEDRIS (The Source for Environmental Representation and
Interchange
provides the means to represent environmental data (terrain, ocean, air and space), and
promote the unambiguous, loss-less and non-proprietary interchange of environmental data.
- SECDAC (Sun-Earth Connection Data Availability
Catalog
provides a catalog of "data availability for current Sun-Earth Connection missions, programs
and campaigns".
In addition, there are several parallel Virtual Observatory efforts currently being worked on
such as:
