Survey Database (2)
Database interface…
- Does the 2dFGRS database provide a suitable model? (albeit with a number of functional improvements)
- Essentially a collection of FITS files with all information on each object in headers/images/spectra plus an SQL database of all parameters with a WWW interface and multiple extraction methods (text, HTML, FITS)
- Serve images, spectra and user-specified subsets of complete catalogue (queryable on all parameters?)
- What parameters should be indexed? (speed/storage trade-off)
