Abstract / Description of output
AstroGrid, a UK e-Science astro-informatics project, with collaborating
groups drawn from the major UK data archive centres, is creating the
UK's first virtual observatory. AstroGrid is aiming to support a broad
spectrum of astronomical activity, with an initial emphasis on meeting
the needs expressed by the UK community. This paper discusses how
AstroGrid is balancing the scientific requirements of the community
(which includes the Solar and STP communities). Note is made of the use
of interactive mechanisms provided by the project, especially those
linked through the AstroGrid portal, in capturing user requirements.
