Description
The catalogues in the CDS VizieR service need to have an Obscore table associated to them to be easily referenced. But the quantity of new catalogues we receive is huge compared to the number of staff we have on it.
That is why we are creating a tool to automatically generate those Obscore tables from the FITS files of the catalogues.
This tool is for now a Python library that will extract a maximum of informations from the headers of the FITS files.
Once this is done, it is possible to curate the informations with external services.
Furthermore, since a non-negligible number a FITS files don't follow the standard but make their own, we added a way to custom the way informations will be extracted with a specification file we call a Mapping file.
For now this tool is aimed to help the ingestion process in the CDS VizieR service, but if more persons are interested, we could try to make an open version of this.
