The data life-cycle - methodological aspects
The aim here is to consolodate standards that help address the various stages
of the astronomical data life cycle. Increasingly data is captured
digitally on CCD electronic detectors, it is subjected to image
processing and statistical analysis, and finally is archived, or
published, or both. The final stage of electronic publishing or
archiving in digital libraries is increasingly important in astronomy.
To support these various stages of the life cycle, the Network will
help coordinate the different data storage, access and interface standards.
