Abstract

Today's astronomical projects need computational systems capable to store and analyze large amounts of scientific data, to effectively share data with other research Institutes and to easily implement information services to present data for different purposes (scientific, maintenance, outreach, etc.). Due to the wide scenario of astronomical projects there isn't yet a standardized approach to implement the software needed to support all the requirements of a project. The new approach we propose here is the use of a unified model where all data are stored into the same data base becoming available in different forms, to different users with different privileges.
