| Abstract: |
The NOAO National Virtual Observatory (NVO) portal is a recently deployed web application for one-stop discovery, analysis, and access to VO-compliant imaging data and services. The NOAO NVO portal utilizes Simple Image Access Protocol (SIAP) services provided by some astronomical archives. The portal also utilizes a number of SOAP-based VO web services (WESIX, Sesame, etc). We discuss the design decisions and technology choices that were made in the NOAO NVO portal code to facilitate the use of IVOA standards and VO data/services. This includes a new Virtual Observatory library written for Ruby: an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. We provide an overview of VORuby and how it is utilized in the NOAO NVO Portal. |
