The acquisition, preparation and distribution of machine-readable astrometric data by the Astronomical Data Center (ADC) are described. Examples of certain general changes in data structure and format to improve compatability with other computers and software processing systems and to increase storage efficiency are discussed, as are the present data archive and request history of the ADC. Current development work in the areas of astrometric and positional catalogs is described.

With the development of astronomical observation technology, astronomical devices produce more data than ever. Astronomical telescopes are usually far away from city, so the long-distance data transmission between telescope and data center faces great challenges. Visualization system of astronomical data transmission with four-layer structure was built to manage data transmission. This visualization system has a four-layer structure: hardware layer, system layer, middle layer, and visualization layer. System function includes automatic data transmission, log recording of transmission process, and display of the transmission status in dynamic web pages. Besides, the middle layer contains an alarm subsystem that can automatically send system exceptions to administrator. We also design corresponding mechanisms to ensure the high stability of the system and to control the data transmission when the network is unstable through adaptive algorithms. In test, this visualization system can run stably for a long time in unmanned manner. This system also provides a solution for the astronomical observation bases to automatically transmit data to the data center.

AbstractThe methods of controlling and disseminating astronomical data at the Kanazawa Data Center (operated under the Computer Center of the Kanazawa Institute of Technology) are described. Discussions include the coded data descriptions used in conjunction with a file processing language. Problems concerning remote data access are also discussed, and the future plan presented.
