Metadata for Digitized Astronomical Plates
Metadata for digitized astronomical plates represent important issue for investigations using these databases. Metadata from envelopes of astronomical plates are manually transcribed into an electronic database.
Currently more than 2000 records of these plates are transcribed in this database.
All metadata must be transcribed from the envelopes of astronomical plates taken with a digital camera.
AstroPlate 2016
There are more than 7 million astronomical photographic plates and/or negatives around the globe, containing huge amounts of unique scientific data. The wide use of various digitization methods, together with development of dedicated software tools, allows effective and complete evaluation of these data for the first time.
IBWS Conference
IBWS 2017 is 14th in the series of successful workshops dedicated to high energy astrophysics and supporting ground-based experiments (e.g. robotic telescopes) The workshop will be held in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic, April 3 - 7 2017.
Metadata Poster
All of the digitized metadata are saved in JPEG format. Important information are captured on digitized envelopes for individual plates. This information should be rewritten into an electronic database.
