Abstract / Description of output
We discuss the redesign of the SkyQuery architecture, originally built
as a simple proof of concept for dynamic federation of astronomical
archives. In keeping with the Virtual Observatory philosophy of
hierarchical services, the design of Open SkyQuery is based upon higher
level services extending the basic functionality of the current VO
standard, the ConeSearch. Open SkyQuery implements the VO specifications
for data access, retrieval and spatial join. Data are published via Web
Services called SkyNodes providing a rich functionality including
footprint coverage. SkyNodes are discovered through the VO registry. We
propose to have at least two levels of SkyNode compliance (Basic and
Full). We will also provide templates for publishing data into a
SkyNode.
