Management, Integration, and Interoperability of Scientific Data
The USC-C is committed to promoting high standards for the astronomical data life cycle, ensuring that the information resources produced by INAF are accessible, reusable, and perfectly integrated into modern international research ecosystems. In full synergy with the guidelines of theInternational Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA), we work to define architectures that foster interoperability, breaking down technological barriers and facilitating collaboration among global research groups.
To learn more about the technical solutions adopted and to consult in detail the services implemented according to international standards, we invite you to explore our section dedicated to Implementations, where you can find specific information on access protocols and technologies in use, including:
GMS: Integrated systems for access and identity management.
TAP: The standard IVOA protocol for querying and analyzing astronomical data.
VOSSIA: Advanced solutions for service interoperability.
VOSpace: For distributed data management and storage.
