YouCat is a query service for catalogues hosted by CANFAR. This service
provides Table Access Protocol (TAP) API access to catalogues created by
project teams.
YouCat also implements a prototype VOSI-tables extension that allows users
to create, update table metadata add table content (rows), create indices,
and delete tables in the database. Users can also control access to their
own tables (public to allow anonymous querying, protected so only members
of specified groups can query, and private where only the owner can query).
Users who want to create tables must request an allocation (schema) by email
to support@canfar.net.
Currently available catalogues include: VLASS, CFHTLS, KiDS, PAndAS, RCSLens.
The CDPP (Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas) was created in 1998 jointly by CNES and INSU
as the French national data centre for natural plasmas of the solar system. The CDPP assures the long term preservation
of data obtained primarily from instruments built using French resources, and renders them readily accessible and
exploitable by the international community. The CDPP also provides services to enable on-line data analysis (AMDA),
3D data visualization in context (3DView), and a propagation tool which bridges solar perturbations to in-situ
measurements. The CDPP is involved in the development of interoperability, participates in several
Virtual Observatory projects, and supports data distribution for scientific missions (Solar Orbiter, JUICE).
