Hi All,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<ol>
<li>Full display/filtering/access to all VO data sets thanks to a
dynamic directory tree</li>
<li>Integration of a global spatial index (based on MOCs) for most
of these data sets</li>
<li>Links/access to related associated (via Datalink, but also via
basic LINK votable, SAMP...)</li>
<li>Possibility to local data set additions in the dynamic
directory tree (personal additions or team additions)<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
=> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://aladin.unistra.fr/java/AladinProto.jar">http://aladin.unistra.fr/java/AladinProto.jar</a></p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers<br>
Pierre<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks a lot for all your answers
I am right now trying to develope DataLink services attached to catalogues, that is, to ConeSearch
responses. And I would like to test these services with some external application.
I see, that, by now, there is not such application. But I'm happy to see that many of you are
interested in providing some solutions in the near future.
The fact is that I see that most astronomers, when ask us to develope a service for their data
(catalogues, collections of spectra...) always want to relate other resources to the main data. For
instance, for catalogues, there are usually links to images, spectra, references or external
resources that complement or explain the catalogue data.
It is quite easy to put all this information together in a web page. But it is not so easy to do so
in the VO services. Datalink provides such capability. But, in my opinion, if VO applications don't
show the corresponding information in some "nice" way, it is not so easy to convince astronomers
that having a VO service for their data is better (or at least "as good as") having just a web page.
of course, Datalink is a new protocol, there are few implementations, and the situation will surely
improve with time.
I intend to comment about this in next Asterics meeting and next interop too. So we can talk about
it if more people are interested.
Thanks again for your answers.
Carlos
