Description
CIELOS (Canary Islands data cEnter for astronomicaL Observations and
Simulations) will be an initiative led by the Instituto de
Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) to manage, process, and archive the
large volumes of data produced by the Observatorios de Canarias
(OCAN). Designed to support both observational and simulation-based
research, CIELOS aims to become a key node in the global
astronomical data landscape.
To ensure that the data hosted in CIELOS are Findable, Accessible,
Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR), the project will be integrated
into the Virtual Observatory (VO) ecosystem from its inception. The
VO, coordinated by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance
(IVOA), provides a set of protocols and standards that enable
seamless access and interoperability of astronomical data across
institutions and platforms.
The Spanish Virtual Observatory (SVO), an initiative managed by the
Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC–INTA) will play a key role in
this integration, being the responsible for exposing the
VO-compliant services to the international community. This includes services that implement IVOA access protocols, ensuring that CIELOS data are accessible through standard VO interfaces and tools.
In this poster, we present the architecture of this collaborative
model, detailing how the SVO will act as the VO gateway for CIELOS.
We describe the structure of the services, the metadata transfer
process, and the mechanisms for ensuring compliance with IVOA
standards. This approach guarantees that the scientific output of
the OCAN will be fully integrated into the global VO framework,
enhancing its visibility, accessibility, and scientific impact.
