| Abstract: |
Registries are the keystone of service oriented astronomy, facilitating the publication, resolution and discovery of astronomical resources inherent in using the VO. CARNIVORE is a fully-featured open source VO registry developed at Caltech. It supports publishing, searching and harvesting, and is fully compliant with the IVOA Registry Interface specification. It utilizes the latest XML technologies - XForms, XQuery and a native XML database - to provide a complete end-to-end XML solution for resource metadata: this provides the efficiency and flexibility that relational model-based solutions lack. It is also easily extensible with infrastructure generated directly from XML Schema. CARNIVORE is designed primarily to offer data and service providers who want to set up their own registry the functionality they require in an off-the-shelf implementation: they avoid the hassle of designing a system from scratch and functionality can easily be added or tailored to address specific needs. |
