Scientific paper

The current status of Belgrade Astrophotographic Plate Archive (BAPA) Database is reported and a brief description of all phases of such a large Project is given. The preliminary computer-readable Catalogue of relevant data from the period 1936-1956 (there are over 15000 glass photographic plates between 1936 and 1996 in Belgrade Plate Archive) is finished as a representative sample only. The images obtained from digitalization of photographic plates will be processed in a standard graphic format, both compressed and not. In the second step that system will be divided into two subsystems: one basic that contains data for each image and the other, resulted from the inquiries of the basic subsystem that will contain the mixing result of all images and catalogue data. The Catalogue BAPA is included into WFPDB (http://www.skyarchive.org) as one of the basic sources (Tsvetkova et al., 2005). The first phase in this process is creation of a Database providing complete information about the photo plates of BAO (the object observed, date and timings, details of the method of observation, etc). As an example of the kind of information which will be possible to extract from the Database, we are giving a couple of statistical distributions.
