Sender: astroweb-request@fits.CV.NRAO.EDU After the New Year holidays, here you have the version 2.1 of the proposal, including comments and suggestions from the group. The proposal (v.2.0) was forwarded to Sergio Paoli and he agrees. We could include Sergio in the AstroWeb exploder list for further discussions on more concrete matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal for merging AstroWeb and WWW VL-Astron.&Astrophys. version 2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Generate a common database by merging URLs in AstroWeb and WWW-VL. The new master version of the database, in TCL form, is located at ST/ScI. 2. An HTML-format version of the database is generated from the master. The transfer of mirror copies is initiated and performed by Level-1 and Level-2 sites. 3. Level-1 sites are: CDS, CERN-VL (La Plata), MSSSO, NRAO, ST/ECF, ST/ScI and VILSPA. 4. Level-2 sites will transfer mirror copies from any Level-1 center. 5. The master database is maintained by people at Level-1 centers, using the remote editing facility. Information required to update the database is collected via update/correction forms, e-mails and discussions in the AstroWeb exploder. 6. Sergio Paoli is invited to joint the group. He will maintain the CERN-VL mirror copy. 7. The AstroWeb pages will mention that CERN-VL (La Plata) is part of the Consortium, and the CERN-VL pages will mention that their data comes from the AstroWeb database. 8. It is recommended that CERN-VL pages contain links to the AstroWeb search service(s) and entry forms. 9. The implementation plan has to be defined, the following points are proposed: - Records in the CERN-VL pages not available in the AstroWeb database are identified. - New categories are defined if required (for instance, MAILING LISTS are not available under AstroWeb). - The Consortium members will share the addition of new records into the AstroWeb database. - Sergio will create a daemon to compute the CERN-VL pages from the AstroWeb database (with our help, if requested). - At the end of the process, after testing and changeover, the merged database should be announced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A copy of this e-mail has been forwarded to spaoli@fcaglp.fcaglp.unlp.edu.ar Happy New Year!

Unsollicited mail appears to be a really hot issue - again essentially in the US - and I believe that AstroWeb should put some caveats on top of the mailing-lists category if people will be able to retrieve and indiscrimately use such resources through AstroWeb.

This has been discussed in the past, and the idea is that each site may have a different approach, trying to have each one its own balance between simplicity of organization (not too many files) and bandwidth efficiency (not too large files).

For further information on the journal, see: http://www.elsevier.nl/ The Proceedings of the Second Conference are being prepared for publication as a Special Issue also. The Third Conference, which will be much smaller than the Second (which turned out to be enormous), will also use the Journal to publish its proceedings.

It covers all aspects of plasma science (basic, fusion, technology, space). The Space Plasma section (see resources page) has a comprehensive list of current homepages in Space Physics including the homepage for NASA's Space Physics Division. I recommend some of these links to you for AstroWeb - check them out by links from the plasma homepage. Under "Other Info." I recommend a link to the plasma homepage above and also the sci.physics.plasma Newsgroup for your Newsgroup listing because this one includes space plasmas. One last item - I'm puzzled by your title. I thought that modern astronomy includes all of the broad, interdisciplinary fields of Astrophysics, Planetary science and Space Physics. Using the phrase "Astronomy and Astrophysics" effectively duplicates astrophysics in the title and, in my view, causes confusion. I earlier tried to learn what this peculiar combination of terms means from the NAS study by the Bahcall committee entitled "A Decade of Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics" (published about 1990); however, the document never defines the terms and uses at least four different meanings for the terms, thus greatly adding to my confusion. At the University of Maryland, our department here is simply titled "Dep't of Astronomy" and they do Astrophysics, Planetary Physics, and Space Physics (no confusion there). Also, under the category of Other: Astro. & Sp. Sci., I only found the Space Telescope Institute item. There are many more useful sources of course and I suggest adding one or two more. I hope that these suggestions/comments are helpful.

I think that the reasons for this terminology is mainly historical. Astronomy is the oldest science apart from geometry, and initially was mainly concerned with the positions of stars and the dynamics of the Sun, Moon and planets. Initially, it was not understood that the same physical laws are ruling the celestial objects that govern the processes on Earth. The big intellectual achievement of Isaac Newton was to show that the motions of planets are governed by gravitation. Our century added the knowledge that it is nuclear fusion which generates the energy the Sun radiates. So astrophysics was conceived as the branch of astronomy which deals with the physical processes in stars. Physical phenomena in other objects such as quasars were added later, without changing the term astrophysics - the same way noone has made a move to change the name of astronomy into celestology, say, despite the fact that only a fraction of astronomers deal with stars. Some people claim "It's all physics out there" and therefore astronomy is part of physics, which is not true since there is also some chemistry involved. I myself could also not claim to be an astrophysicist since I have never used physical laws in my research area, but I would still claim to be called an astronomer, since I e.g. classify astronomical objects, or I restore images of such objects. >Also, under the category of Other: Astro. & Sp.

Again the easiest for us would be if you could fill the forms we provide and enter those links that you have in mind, rather than let us find out. Your cooperation is appreciated. >I hope that these suggestions/comments are helpful. Yes, Thanks.

At the last AAS meeting in Tucson, someone started collecting openly URLs of all kinds. I got in touch with this person, told him of the existence of AstroWeb and the Star*s Family and suggested he contribute with the URLs he collected. That person was: ggs@Charmian.sonoma.EDU (Gordon Spear) and you might see some influx from him. 2. I am flooded currently with the questionnaires returned from the Star*s Family updating campaign. Many of the forms contain new URLs and, according to recent statistics I run, I believe there are now more URLs in the SF (basically StarWorlds + StarHeads) than in AstroWeb, although there is no 100% duplication. As soon as I'll have cleared up the backlog, I intend to run some comparative tests for the SF subset with WWW links and add those that would not be then in AstroWeb. This might take some time, but we'll manage somehow. All the best, AH. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From www_server Thu Jan 26 07:10:09 1995 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (4.1/DDN-DLB/1.7) id AA26270; Thu, 26 Jan 95 07:10:09 EST Return-Path: Date: Thu, 26 Jan 95 07:10:02 EST From: www_server@fits.cv.nrao.edu (httpd@fits.cv.nrao.edu) Message-Id: <9501261210.AA26261@fits.cv.nrao.edu> To: astroweb@NRAO.EDU, norman@astro.gla.ac.uk Subject: Change of URL for Glasgow home page Sender: astroweb-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu Message entered by: Norman Gray @ norman.astro.gla.ac.uk [130.209.45.150] Greetings.
