Subject: Site Review

Bob:  Our records indicate we have not sent this to you yet for review.  The following summary of the AstroWeb site is intended for inclusion in a search directory on the Observatorium (<http://observe/ivv/nasa/gov>), web site of NASA's Remote Sensing Public Access Center (RSPAC).  Our goal is to provide increased public awareness and access to space and earth remote sensing data and information.  We would appreciate your review and comments on this summary before we activate it.  Thanks // Phil Cressy

Full Abstract:
The AstroWeb site was introduced by the AstroWeb Consortium to provide extensive
information and links for the full range of astronomical resources available 
via the Internet.  It includes a local copy, updated daily, of the NRAO
version of AstroWeb, and links to versions at NRAO, CDS, MSSSO, ST-ECF, VILSPA
and WWW-VL (LaPlata).  Contents and style in these versions may vary somewhat 
from the master database at Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)

The site is sorted by protocol: WWW, Gopher, WAIS, Telnet, FTP and News.
Information files are searchable by category via WAIS and Harvest tools.
For the most part, the data consists of information on how to find satellite 
images, databases, archived material, software, newsletters, and societies 
and universities involved with astronomical activities.  

It is also possible to contribute resource records to the AstroWeb site, as well as
make attachments or comments to existing records and send correction reports.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                !
