Task: Virtual Observatory
Install: true
Metapackage: true
Description: Tools and viewers for the Virtual Observatory
 This metapackage will install commonly used interfaces for interacting with
 datasets and archive data within the online distributed Virtual Observatory.
 .
 The Virtual Observatory allows astronomers to interrogate multiple data
 centers in a seamless and transparent way, provides new powerful analysis and
 visualization tools within that system, and gives data centers a standard
 framework for publishing and delivering services using their data. This is
 made possible by standardization of data and metadata, by standardization of
 data exchange methods, and by the use of a registry, which lists available
 services and what can be done with them.
 .
 When running, many of these tools can communicate with each other
 using the Simple Application Messaging Protocol (SAMP)

Pkg-Description: Spectral Analysis Tool (SPLAT) for Virtual Observatory
 Splat-VO is an desktop client for viewing and analysis of Virtual
 Observatory (VO) spectral data.  This graphical tool can display,
 analyse, compare and modify already extracted spectra stored in FITS,
 TEXT, and NDF/NDX formats.  It can also interact with the Virtual
 Observatory registery and data-centres to dynamically query and
 download data for a particular section of the sky on-demand.
 .
 Splat-VO can work in multiple coordinate systems and can plot and
 overlay multiple spectra at the same time.  Plots are displayed in a
 visually rich format.  Analysis can be performed by selecting and
 zooming multiple, and fitting to emission and absorption lines.

Pkg-Description: Table Access Protocol (TAP) Shell for Virtual Observatory
 TAP Shell is a command-line interface for transmitting and receiving 
 Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL) requests to remote data-centres
 within the Virtual Observatory (VO).  TAP Shell includes <tab> completition
 allowing the exploration of the format of remote datashets at a low-level.

Pkg-Description: A library to process VOTables using python
 The VOTable format is defined by the International Virtual Observatory
 Alliance to facilitate data exchange in astronomy.  This library
 implements most of the specification and offers simple and advanced,
 streaming interfaces.  Also included is a simple client to query TAP
 servers.
 .
 There are many other libraries to parse VOTables into python programs, the
 default probably being astropy's. This one is geared for maximal control,
 streaming, and the possibility to write fairly mad instance documents.

Pkg-Description: Server package of the Virtual Observatory data center suite
 This package makes use of the Data Center Helper Suite (DaCHS) by setting-up a
 database on a postgres system. The DaCHS server enables a user to ingest and
 publish her or his data in(to) a Virtual Observatory-compliant data center.
