| Abstract: | Virtual observatories have been introduced by the astrophysics community as an environment connecting distributed data sources
with a unified interface. The heliophysics community soon recognized that they faced a similar problem of many distributed
data sets with varying amount of information about them and several discipline specific virtual observatories have been established.
Two of them, the virtual heliospheric observatory (VHO) and the virtual magnetospheric observatory (VMO), share a common architecture
design with development efforts oriented towards a structured data search. This paper describes the VHO/VMO middleware and
its components from metadata preparation and processing to the user interface. |
