IDIS General Meeting in Toulouse (Wed 27.-Fri 29.1.2010)
At the end of January 2010 members of the two IDIS-related activities, SA-IDIS and JRA4/IDIS, came together to a general meeting, hosted by CESR-CNRS in Toulouse, France.
During this meeting the detailed strategy for the development and implementation of the data network IDIS was discussed.
Public demonstration of XML-based networked IDIS search engine at EPSC 2009 in Potsdam (10.9.2009)
A registry-based distributed search engine for access to all information currently available via IDIS will be demonstrated during the Europlanet Science Congress in Potsdam, 14.-18. September, at the IDIS stand. The final implementation will depend on the outcome of the datamodel and tools definition under preparation in Europlanet-RI / JRA4.
IDIS network-wide text search tools available (9.9.2009)
Two node-independent text-based search tools are now available inside IDIS: A Google-engine based search environment at the CDPP part of the plasma node and a general text search tool at the Planetary Dynamics and Extraterrestrial matter node. See also the links from this node's search page.
Harmonized web-site layout across all Europlanet-RI Web-servers implemented for IDIS (29.08.2009)
A harmonized web-layout for all Europlanet-RI activities is now implemented on all IDIS-related Web-servers.
IDIS extended to a 6-node network (1.1.2009)
The additional node "Planetary Dynamics and Extraterrestrial Matter" is hosted by the Paris Observatory and operated by the Virtual Observatory Paris. It provides data bases and tools to calculate positions and orbits of solar system planets, asteroids and comets in support of data analysis and preparation of new missions. The spectral data bases and their associated search tools support the interpretation of extraterrestrial matter observations.
IDIS continues under EU FP7
IDIS is part of the FP7 program "Europlanet Research Infrastructure" (12/2009)
