Descripción
The amount of data produced by large observational facilities and space
missions has led to the archiving and on-line accessibility of much of
these data, available to the entire astronomical community, and allowing
a much wider multi-frequency approach of astronomical research than
previously possible. Here I intend to draw attention to these services,
to give a basic description of their performance and ways of accessing
them, with special attention to the situation at IAC. Apart from
services providing observational data, many of those providing general
information, e.g. on addresses, bibliographies, software etc. are also
described. The field is rapidly growing with improved network
technology, and my attempt to keep the report as complete and up-to-date
as possible will inevitably be outdated shortly. Further editions are
hoped to keep the report actualized.
