New CDS Portal released

[Thomas Boch]

Dear Apps enthusiasts,

The new CDS Portal has been released. It is available at 
http://cdsportal.unistra.fr/

The portal provides a single-page unified summary of and access to CDS 
services and resources available for a given astronomical object or 
position on the sky. It relies and makes use of several existing or 
forthcoming VO standards: MOC and the MocServer ( 
http://alasky.unistra.fr/MocServer/query ) for global spatial indexation 
and metadata retrieval, TAP to query SIMBAD and VizieR, HiPS for 
seamless preview and visualization in Aladin Lite.
Detailed informations about the general architecture can be found in 
"The new CDS Portal, powered by HiPS and MOC" presented at the Cape Town 
Interop last May:

Your feedback is welcome.

Cheers,

Thomas
