Thanks for fixing the feature. One minor point - it's only descriptions containing URLs of the form "#anchor" which cause problems - the database has worked fine to date with a number of other descriptions containing URLs of the form "whatever#anchor". cheers, - anton.

It's approximately what I had in mind when suggesting that one might wish to index all astronomical HTML pages (it indexes the top nodes). The harvest results are a bit cryptic at times; we may get used to it, but I have some doubts about the average astronomer. In any case, I support including it in the services we offer, since we have nothing better at this time.

As we would expect, the searches did find references in pages that were not in the main AstroWeb database. However, the surprise for me was how few new "hits" I made in my trials; my tentative conclusion is that the degree of completeness of AstroWeb itself is rather good. Of course, this may just be saying that AstroWeb records are a reasonable summary of the content of their URLs, and that the content of those top-level URLs does not point to very many new resources. It is conceivable that we could make new discoveries by harvesting more than one level deep. My remarks are based on a small number of quick, simple trials; more tests and experiences may show that the present harvested database is really more effective than I make it sound. Other members of the AstroWeb consortium should try the search tool and compare its results to their knowledge of the AstroWeb database, and report their reactions. -Don From www_server Sat Nov 19 04:26:33 1994 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-DLB/1.5) id AA04809; Sat, 19 Nov 94 04:26:33 EST Return-Path: Date: Sat, 19 Nov 94 04:26:27 EST From: www_server@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU (httpd@fits.cv.nrao.edu) Message-Id: <9411190926.AA04793@fits.cv.nrao.edu> To: astroweb@NRAO.EDU, atnf.csiro.au@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU Subject: Parkes Observatory Home Page Updated Sender: astroweb-request@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU Message entered by: ntasker @ pyxis.rp.csiro.au [192.207.157.21] Hi, I have submitted a new entry for the ATNF Parkes Observatory thereby making the "Parkes Radio Telescope" obsolete.

My opinion is that it adds too much confusion for the normal user, and we should prefer to provide our users with the present search mechanisms based on the database itself (and the descriptions therein). This said, I find the search mechanism at STScI sometimes very frustrating (this &%$#! WAIS index...). One example: if you want to find the entries related to catalogs you have to feed the search mechanism with "catalog" "catalogs" "catalogue" and "catalogues". Rather cumbersome, isn't it ?

For those of you who may wish to check us out the home page address is: http://maxwell.sfsu.edu/asp/asp.html We have just begun to enter information and, as yet, there are no images. The ASP pages should gradually become linked in to other astronomical resource indexes on the WWW. We will of course listen to any and all feedback on what we should or should not include.

However, there's a Web page that supposedly lists all of them. It enables you to sort alphabetically or by category, and when you sort by category, you can get more detailed information on the list. The site appears to be a functional advertisement for a $99 tool (currently only Windows-based, but a Mac version is in the works and slated for November release - they'd better hurry) called InfoMagnet, which lets you find, search, and participate in LISTSERV-based mailing lists. From the sounds of it, Info-Magnet is a front-end interface to the often-complex LISTSERV commands. http://www.clark.net/pub/listserv/listserv.html In addition, another Web page enables you to search a database (maintained by Dartmouth College) of almost 6,000 mailing lists. The database is updated weekly, and this site has become one of my favorite tools on the Web. [ACE] http://alpha.acast.nova.edu:80/listserv.html A.C.

We have an increasing number of internal users and visitors accessing this information. The idea would be to set up a mechanism to periodically download relevant files of the Database, so as to optimize local access to Astronomical resources in the Internet.

I find that a good idea (and I know that Vilspa has not an efficient bandpass to the outside world). If everybody agrees (no fumes and flames ?) I will give him the tools I use (Perl scripts, actually copied from Bob) so that he can make a daily mirror copy.
