I also submitted a "resource record" for David McDavid under "people", but later realized it should probably have been a "personal anchor record". So I later submitted a "personal anchor record" for David McDavid. I used the html form, but when I reviewed the list of recent additions, my name appeared appended to the previous listing ("Astronomy Picture of the Day") instead of as the next one. I'm telling you this so you can be careful to edit out my name from the end of "Astronomy Picture of the Day". Also, if there is no reason to have my name listed twice, please delete either the "people" or the "personal" entry. I would guess the "people" entry should be deleted and the "personal" one should remain, after it is detached from "Astronomy Picture of the Day" and correctly formatted.

At the moment there is no automated mechanism for updating the database, it's still done manually. I think that this is essential for quality control of the database, but... it takes time. The situation at the moment is that changes accummulate until someone gets around to entering all the changes. (and during the last few months it's not been me, due to lack of time - which is why I've been bothered by it). But I'm sure that none of us can really afford the time to continue to enter all the changes. At the same time, it is rather important to keep the database up to date. So here's a suggestion for sharing the load: would it be possible (Don?) to make a change to the astroweb input email distributor used by the rest of the world, so that it works as follows: - it has a list of people willing to update the database (this may or may not consist of everyone involved in Astroweb). - Every time a new entry is submitted, it sends this new entry to only one person on the list, then sends the next entry to the next person on the list, etc. It is then the responsibility of each person on the list to enter their own particular set of changes/new entries (at their leisure), but rotating the new entries in this way should at least help reduce the frequency to something more managable, and should provide a fair distribution of the load (to first-order). - Those not on the list (ie not involved with updating the database) don't get copies of astroweb corrections cluttering up their mbox. I don't know how much effort such a change would entail, so this suggestion may or may not be feasible. I also don't know if everyone currently on the consortium would want to be on the distribution list for receiving entries to enter into the database, but that's up to each individual - I would hope only that at least enough of us are interested in doing this so that updating the database becomes a managable exercise. Best regards, - Anton.

I could probably make the change suggested, if a consensus favoring it exists in the Consortium. Alternatively, if you want to implement the switching mechanism, I could probably change the form to send the traffic to your daemon instead of mine. -=- I wish that the delete function of the master database would return the record which has been deleted as an entry form, so that the fields could be edited right in the fields of the form and then the record could be added back to the database. If such a function existed I would probably make changes more readily. The present method for making changes is rather tedious and time-consuming. In fact, rather than make one change at a time, I delay and delay until I can spend a whole afternoon or evening on the job, and then I do many changes all at once in only a few transactions. It really would be better to do single transactions frequently. -=- My entry form system needs a major upgrade. I have been planning this for almost a year, and have even partially implemented it. The concept I have been planning is that I would make each new record be a separate HTML page, in the form of an add form for the master database. Then, any of us could enter our password and install any record we like, and probably delete the record from my system when we are finished. I expected to have this capability six months ago, but I have been under pressure to build the focus tracking subsystem of the GBT, and so I have repeatedly delayed working on the project. If one of you wants to take up this project, or to develop some other idea along these lines, I will be happy to pass the baton.

I have collected URL change requests in a special folder for months without doing anything with them due to a lack of time. I have not even found the time to carry out my part of the AstroWb and Virtual Library merge. I see three possibilities: 1. Have volunteers to make the changes. I'm afraid that, while I should like to continue adding to our database interesting URLs which I come across, I cannot afford the time to manually add loads of URLs that others submit, since the AstroWeb initiative was my private business and is not part of my functional duties. 2. Make submission automatic, and perhaps occasionally go over the database to control quality, or change entries which do not conform to the rest, or alert the submitter to modify the entry. 3. Hand the maintenance of AstroWeb over to a central institute such as CDS. Personally I'm in favour of solution 3.

However, I think that our AstroWeb index was created with exactly this idea in mind, and it has become the most complete index to astronomy on the net in existence. It came into existence by merging private collections the individuals which make up the AstroWeb consortium had assembled. I warn you not to underestimate the effort which is needed not only for the proper creation of such an index, but even more for the maintenance. The creation requires judgement which will almost certainly require the knowledge/cooperation of an astronomer. For instance, with which country do you want to associate the CFHT observatory, with Canada, or France, or Hawaii, or all three? Is ESO's observatory at La Silla Chilean? I should therefore like to ask you to consider applying for a membership in the AstroWeb consortium, and use your time and effort to help improving the already existing AstroWeb index, rather than attempting to build another one on top of the existing one(s). I should like to mention that the master database on which AstroWeb rests does have a categorization built-in, and if the categories which you would like to see are not present at the moment, they could easily be added. Using the AstroWeb database would allow you to keep your current interface, since each of the half-dozen sites offering the AstroWeb database does it through a customized UIF anyway. Each site regularly updates its local copy from the master database which is currently maintained at the STScI, Baltimore. >If you would like to take a look at the start of this project please see >http://www.cs.byuh.edu/Astro/ I had a brief look at your pages and I think that you have come up with yet another nice idea for an interface to a large database of web resources. However I have some doubts that I understand what you mean with your categories "public", "education" etc. At least an explanation is necessary on the toplevel http://www.cs.byuh.edu/Astro/ page. In what sense, for instance, is CDS, Strasbourg public? It certainly is not as public as a public library. Do you mean it is not a privately run research institute? BTW: CDS is funded by the French government/taxpayer.

The file was not printed directly from PageMaker (that lead to problems we do not yet understand), but generated from a PostScript file using the Acrobat Distiller on an Apple Macintosh PPC 8100/110. It took 7 minutes to generate the PDF file. Amazingly a lot of information is preserved in the transformation. Using the AcroReader one can select text, and cut and past it into other documents. One can also search for text. On the Mac one can even select the graphics. (That means one can more or less backwards-engineer a source file from its PostScript rendering.) So far I've tested the Acrobat Reader 2.0 on the Mac and the Acrobat Reader 1.0 on the Sun. The Mac reader seems to have a problem with selecting single-column text from multi-column text. Looks good otherwise.

Yes, I do. I have long wanted to modify my CGI program which processes the record entry forms so that it would compute separate forms which would update the master database. I still intend to do this. In fact, I worked on the problem in March, and built some experimental prototype code (files aref95*.* and inp_incoming95.* and the inp_incoming95/ subdirectory in my astroweb directory). Bob's new procedures make my ideas even more attractive, and I now intend to work on the code again and try to make a production version. The general idea is that our user community would fill out a form as they do now, but the information would be re-formatted into another HTML form ready to execute an ADD operation on the master database. This new form would have user/password fields which one of us would fill in in order to authorize the transaction. One little detail is how to authorize deleting the form file on my machine when the operation is finished; for this purpose a "verify password" command in Bob's procedure would be useful to me (of course, I could get the effect of it by trying to read the logfile using the password). Probably I would compute an incoming HTML page (and possibly an index page) similar to the present one, but I would do it by concatenating information from the pending input forms. The prototype of this feature is: http://fits.cv.nrao.edu/www/astroweb/inp_incoming95/index.html It is my intention to transform the existing input records to the new format to test this new technology, and to facilitate processing those records. We have 58 kilobytes in inp_incoming.html currently... This whole concept leads to the additional idea of automating corrections to the database. Currently the users send us change requests via Email using our form. It would be better if they edited their own records themselves, directly. I have in mind providing a scheme for them to fetch their record and edit it in a form themselves, and then submit the MODIFY form to us for authorization. This would mean that any of us could authorize the change, and would be able to edit the record before making the transaction, but the users would do all the heavy lifting and would be able to mostly control their own records. If this mechanism can be made to work, it would then encourage me to construct a tool to send Email messages to OWNERs suggesting that they review their records and submit modified versions. -Don From astroweb-request Tue Aug 22 14:41:48 1995 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (5.x/S2.3/NRAO-CV/2.3) id AA00705; Tue, 22 Aug 1995 14:41:48 -0400 Return-Path: Date: Tue, 22 Aug 95 14:41:41 EDT Message-Id: <9508221841.AA09900@MARIAN.STSCI.EDU> From: Bob Jackson To: astroweb@NRAO.EDU Subject: New feature Reply-To: jackson@stsci.edu Sender: astroweb-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu content-length: 200 In the test version of AstroWeb edit you are playing with, I have added a new feature.

BAD: the MODIFY function reports success but the changes are not actually made. BUG/FEATURE: consider the case of . The HTML markup is not obeyed in the window of the form (at least under Mosaic), although the markup is present in the source of the form as seen in the View_Source window. SUGGESTION: perhaps the form should have a comments field. The batch update operation occurs at about 31 minutes after the hour. One can work for most of each hour making changes, and order re-computations of the pages hourly. The change_log is now enormous: 828_KB. At some point we should truncate this if possible. Overall, I am pleased. This new technology definitely makes it easier to make individual corrections. -Don From astroweb-request Mon Aug 28 11:11:48 1995 Received: by fits.cv.nrao.edu (5.x/S2.3/NRAO-CV/2.3) id AA27057; Mon, 28 Aug 1995 11:11:48 -0400 Return-Path: Date: Mon, 28 Aug 1995 11:11:35 -0400 From: www_server@cv3.cv.nrao.edu (httpd@fits.cv.nrao.edu) Message-Id: <9508281511.AA27047@fits.cv.nrao.edu> To: astroweb@NRAO.EDU, einmann@astro.uni-bonn.de Subject: add personal Homepage Sender: astroweb-request@fits.cv.nrao.edu content-length: 220 Message entered by: CHIN, Yi-nan @ aibn20.astro.uni-bonn.de [131.220.96.20] I would like to submitte my personal WWW Homepage.
