The Whole Sun Catalogue

To maximize the scientific outcome of the wealth of solar observations available, it would be extremely useful to have a complete, central catalogue giving some basic information such as `where, when, what' about all solar observations made. This paper presents a proposal for such a catalogue based on the infrastructure developed for the SOHO Archive, but being independent of it. Our goal is to refine this proposal with the help of the JOSO group and to implement it by 1997.
