any application using datalink?

[Pierre Fernique]

Hi All,

Related to the datalink Carlo's last mail, I would like mention that 
Aladin V10 - still in preparation (see below) - will incorporate some 
major improvements for offering a integrated/global access to any VO 
resources and their related associated data.

 1. Full display/filtering/access to all VO data sets thanks to a
    dynamic directory tree
 2. Integration of a global spatial index (based on MOCs) for most of
    these data sets
 3. Links/access to related associated (via Datalink, but also via basic
    LINK votable, SAMP...)
 4. Possibility to  local data set additions in the dynamic directory
    tree (personal additions or team additions)

The code is still in a prototype level, but it can already been 
evaluated, notably to see if the datalink information are correctly 
recognized and processed. The feedback that you could provide to us, 
right now, notably for improving the way that these related associated 
data can be displayed/access, would be very valuable.

=> http://aladin.unistra.fr/java/AladinProto.jar

This major new version will be fully presented at Shanghai Interop 
meeting, but already partially next week at the Asterics meeting 
especially on the Datalink/SODA and TAP integration.

Cheers
Pierre
