SPASE is the Space Physics Archive Search and Extract project. This project is funded by NASA to provide a data model for the Great Observatory data environment that can be used as a common basis for locating and retrieving data of interest for the space and solar physics community. Common terminology that maps to much of the disparate metadata being used by these systems enables unified searches across the archives and ready comparison of the results to determine time overlaps, data commonalities, applicability for research purposes, etc. The SPASE Data Model Version 1.0 has been created and will be described. The model now needs to be tested by the community by describing a wide variety of data holdings and providing feedback for further improvement of the model. The latest version of the Data Model can be obtained by clicking on the Link marked "Current Draft" at the following web site: http://www.igpp.ucla.edu/spase/. Hundreds of data descriptions created with this model in mind have been entered into the Virtual Space Physics Observatory search engine called the "Space and Solar Physics Product Finder". We recommend exercising this system to find data of interest and to see the value of a common data model for search and retrieval. The VSPO Product Finder is available at the following URL: http://vspo.gsfc.nasa.gov/websearch/dispatcher. Future enhancements of the SPASE Data Model will include more depth of description to more fully describe the science content of a data set as well as automated tools to ease the task of describing data according to the Data Model. As always, the value of the SPASE effort will depend on the use and feedback by the space physics community.
