Scientific paper

The Star Formation/ISM Astronomical Database (hereafter SFD) will be a set of on-line services adding value to existing data archives and published journals, along the lines of the very successful NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) and SIMBAD projects but with a focus on star formation an the interstellar medium (ISM) within the Milky Way. Unlike NED and SIMBAD, however, the SFD must deal with multi-wavelength measurements of extended regions and cross-correlative relationships between disparate measurements. The SFD will rely heavily on existing databases, primarily adding data content and connectivity between datasets around the world, and custom tailoring of existing tools to provide interfaces (programming API, Web, and JAVA GUI) specific to this application.
We consider the SFD as a valuable component in the broader context of a future Virtual Observatory.
