Argentina - NOVAArVOAstroGridAustralia-VOBRAVOChina-VOBeta version of China-VO AstroCloud was released on May 15, 2014.http://astrocloud.china-vo.org The China-VO AstroCloud project was supported by NDRC (National Development and Reform commission) and CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences). Based on VO and Cloud technologies, the China-VO AstroCloud hopes to be a full lifecycle data management platform and an astronomical resource planning environments for the community and telescopes in China. Tasks such as observation time application, proposal review, data archiving, data release and sharing, scientific discovery collection, will be (or demanded) done on the platform. The platform will provide astronomers proposal submission, data archiving, data access, limited data processing and data mining, and maybe more services. A Call for Proposals was issued on July 21, 2014. Proposals for observation at 2.4m telescope at Yunnan Observatories were collected on the AstroCloud platform. During the time of 3 weeks, 69 proposals were collected. Now, peer-review is still underway. The 4th nationwide WWT teacher training was held successfully in Chongqing. The workshop was held at Shixinlu primary school, where the first WWT planetarium was built in 2013. More than 30 teachers from universities, secondary schools and primary schools attended the event. The second WWT planetarium is under construction at Astronomy Department at Beijing Normal University. More schools are on the waiting list. ChiVOChiVO is currently in its final phase with the creation of a functional prototype that consider data access services for the cycle 0 ALMA's public data. This prototype considers: - Creation of metadata harvesting process for the ALMA Science Data Model in order to fill the Observation Core Data model columns. Also the same process with FITS files was made (no ObsCore). - Based on the harvesting process we construct and set-up the resources to the backend (gavo DaCHS). - The creation of web interface to facilitate the access to the data. This web application consume data from different resources available in the registry (using the ChiVO endpoint web service). - The ChiVO endpoint facilitate the communication between the web application and the Registry, providing a JSON file with all available registry to be used by the astronomer. - ALMA Sesame, name resolver for the names created by ALMA database. We are creating this web service with a NoSQL database MongoDB. - The creation of tools and algorithms for galaxies classification, indexing of stellar objects, and identification of spectral lines in ALMA data cubes. - It is necessary a suitable set of data to validate these tools; hence, ALMA data is now being simulated.
