//Abstract: This note presents HiPS, a hierarchical scheme for the 
description, storage and access of sky survey data. The principle is 
based on hierarchical tiling of sky regions at finer and finer spatial 
resolution which facilitates a progressive view of a survey, and 
supports multi-resolution zooming and panning. HiPS uses the HEALPix 
tessellation of the sky as the basis for the scheme and is implemented 
as a simple file structure with a direct indexing scheme that leads to 
practical implementations./
