Sky Raider

The Sky Raider Data Project has the objective of providing the storage and database reference to FITS files and the services for them.  This project is closely related to Quartz Renaissance as it provides the image and spectral services necessary to handle data in the FITS files.    It is also closely related to the Web Objects wiki on this site, as one of the key delivery technologies is Apple's WebObjects.

1. Image Retrieval  (fast,simple and service oriented)
