EGSO - Current Status and Expectations
Abstract
EGSO, the European Grid of Solar Observations, is developing a data Grid to provide enhanced access to solar data from around the globe. The project, which is funded by the European Commission, is just over a year old and it recently passed its first review. A working version of the architectural design was recently completed and detailed work has now started in earnest.
We will present details of the design, how it will be implemented and the timescales for different part of the project. Examples of services and interfaces already available will be shown. EGSO is working closely with the US Virtual Solar Observatory (US-VSO) and the Sun-Earth Connector (CoSEC) and we are trying to the projects compliment each other - a working group to ensure this was recently formed. For more details on EGSO see our web site or contact the author.- Publication:
