Publishing Data into the VO
IVOA Architecture
The
IVOA Architecture Note (23 Nov 2010) can be a good starting point to explore the list of IVOA Standards, their function and the relationships between them.
Workshops and other links about Publishing Data into the VO
Euro-VO DCA and then Euro-VO AIDA used to run workshops oriented towards Data Providers to help them publishing their data into the VO. The latest one took place at ESAC in June 2009 and one can find all information at
the following link. It included hands on tutorial on
DALToolkit,
SAADA and
DSA. Previous similar workshop was run in
2008.
Euro-VO has a
web page to some further useful links about how to publish data into the VO.
