What is astro-virtual-observatory
astro-virtual-observatory is:
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)
