Working Groups: IVS Working Group on VLBI Data Structures

Purpose The Working Group will examine the data structure currently used in VLBI data processing and investigate what data structure is likely to be needed in the future. It will design a data structure that meets current and anticipated requirements for individual VLBI sessions including a cataloging, archiving and distribution system. Further, it will prepare the transition capability through conversion of the current data structure as well as cataloging and archiving softwares to the new system.
