SPASE OBJECTIVES
šBuild a system that meets the global Space
Physics User Requirements.
šFacilitate the circulation of related scientific
and technical information.
šFacilitate the (two-way) interface with
international technical standards and development
organizations.
šAvoid duplication of effort between
geographically distant archiving centers.
šEnsure the compatibility of the architectures
used for the global distributed system and as many of the
individual data centers as possible.
šReduce costs by development of a system that
luses widely approved technical standards,
lis easy to maintain (both globally, and in each archiving center),
lcan easily evolve so as to profit from future technological
developments,
lcan be interfaced with the systems of adjacent disciplines and,
hopefully one day, with a global system.
The main
objective is to promote collaboration and
coordination of archiving
activity for the Space Physics community.
