Virtual Observatory, Astronomical Data
Scientific paper
The main points of the conception of the Ukrainian virtual observatory (UkrVO) are presented. We consider the main goal as the creation of the UkrVO organizational structure in the form of the Consortium of the Ukrainian observatories, which are owners of the unique astronomical data collections. There are also other goals of the UkrVO: creation of registry for all Ukrainian astronomical resources in accordance with IVOA standards; creation of joint data archive (JDA) for all photographic, CCD and radio observations of celestial bodies, which have been accumulated at observatories of Ukraine since 1890; creation of control system for access to the registry and the JDA; development of the JDA in accordance with the IVOA standards, which allow us to present uncoordinated data archive from different observatories of Ukraine in homogeneous form; promotion of wide access to UkrVO astronomical recources at national and international levels; development of Ukrainian astronomical educational recources. The place and role of virtual observatories in the "space mission data "ground-based telescopes" relation are discussed. We describe the main components of the scientific astroinformatics resource of the UkrVO, among which are photographic archives (including the unique historical archives from 1890 to 1945), archives of CCD and spectral observations of celestial bodies, catalogues and databases obtained with ground-based telescopes, and space mission data processed at Ukrainian observatories. We determine the primary problems in the creation of the UkrVO as the national center of astronomical and space data in the IVOA frame. The resolution of the problems demands new approaches to IT-support of the UkrVO and to the development of its educational subsystem.
