VSTO portal


The image above is a snapshot of the VSTO portal's data search and query interface, which exposes an ontology-based instrument selection capability. The Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) is a production semantic web data framework providing access to observational datasets from fields spanning upper atmospheric terrestrial physics to solar physics. The observatory allows virtual access to a highly distributed and heterogeneous set of data that appears as if all resources are organized, stored, and retrieved/used in a common way.
