From brideout at haystack.mit.edu Fri Jan 27 10:23:18 2012 From: brideout at haystack.mit.edu (Bill Rideout) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:23:18 -0500 Subject: [OpenMadrigal-announce] New CEDAR Madrigal archive database now available at http://cedar.openmadrigal.org Message-ID: <8E350748-8EAC-48FC-9A96-4B82D572250B@haystack.mit.edu> The new CEDAR Madrigal archive database is now available at http://cedar.openmadrigal.org . This new central database serves two purposes: 1) it automatically archives all data from all Madrigal sites on a weekly basis, and 2) like the old CEDAR database, it serves as a permanent primary repository for data not hosted at other Madrigal sites. As a user, you can search all Madrigal databases, including data only on the new CEDAR Madrigal archive, from any individual Madrigal site. There are a few reasons why a user might want to go directly to the CEDAR Madrigal archive site at http://cedar.openmadrigal.org. Madrigal has a simple web interface that only searches for Madrigal data local to a particular site. If you use the simple web interface at the CEDAR Madrigal archive site, you have access to all Madrigal data across all Madrigal sites, including CEDAR. Also, in some cases, response times might be faster at the CEDAR Madrigal archive site. The Madrigal database is an open source project, and all code is available at the web site http://www.openmadrigal.org. While Millstone Hill is the primary developer, the latest release of Madrigal (2.6) was developed in partnership with Jicamarca Radio Observatory. Community feedback and contributions regarding this project are strongly encouraged. Please contact Bill Rideout at brideout at haystack.mit.edu for more information. The CEDAR Madrigal archive site is supported by NSF grant AGS-1025467. Bill Rideout brideout at haystack.mit.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
