Scientific paper

Skyalert.org is an event repository, web interface, and event-oriented workflow architecture that can be used in many different ways for handling astronomical events that are encoded as VOEvent. It can be used as a remote application (events in the cloud) or installed locally. Some applications are: Dissemination of events with sophisticated discrimination (trigger), using email, instant message, RSS, twitter, etc; Authoring interface for survey-generated events, follow-up observations, and other event types; event streams can be put into the skyalert.org repository, either public or private, or into a local inbstallation of Skyalert; Event-driven software components to fetch archival data, for data-mining and classification of events; human interface to events though wiki, comments, and circulars; use of the "notices and circulars" model, where machines make the notices in real time and people write the interpretation later; Building trusted, automated decisions for automated follow-up observation, and the information infrastructure for automated follow-up with DC3 and HTN telescope schedulers; Citizen science projects such as artifact detection and classification; Query capability for past events, including correlations between different streams and correlations with existing source catalogs; Event metadata structures and connection to the global registry of the virtual observatory.
