1. Abstract

The Virtual Radiation Belt Observatory

Weigel, R S, O'Brien, T P, Green, J C, Zhizhin, M, Mishin, D Y

ViRBO (Virtual Radiation Belt Observatory) is one of the domain-specific virtual observatories in the NASA Heliophysics Data Environment program. ViRBO provides access to metadata, data, and services related to Earth's radiation belt. In this poster we describe the latest updates to ViRBO including new services, metadata, and data. We also provide an overview of the virtual observatory system and a description of a few of its search and value-added data tools and products.

2. Activity

2007-2010

  1. Make Radiation Belt Data Available
    • A Virtual Observatory needs publicly available data!
    • Lots of new data online [1]

2010-

  1. Use VxO technology to simplify finding, browsing, and reading data.
    • Technology 1: SPASE - A metadata schema
    • Technology 2: VxOware - A metadata manager and search engine
    • Technology 3: Autoplot - Plots data file URIs referred to in metadata
  2. Create metadata to enable the above.
  3. Work with community to increase adoption.

3. Status

  • Major new release (with features shown in this poster) in January 2011.
  • Begin migrating from MediaWiki platform to VxOware platform
  • Submit reviewed metadata to SMWG repository in Spring 2011
  • Will host a "Using ViRBO" workshop at 2011 GEM conference

4. Finding

  • Search for objects associated with a scientist [2]

5. Browsing

  • Browse news items in different categories [3]

6. Reading

  • View and save contents of data files [4]

7. Creating Metadata

  • Create a SPASE Person record [5]
  • Review a SPASE Observatory record [6]

8. Community Efforts

  • Work with workshops hosts to showcase technology
  • Other
    • AE-9/AP-9 - Provide private SVN hosting for model while in development
    • RBSP - Attend SOC workshop to showcase available technology. Working closely with several data producers on making their data easier to find and use in Virtual Observatory Environment.
