与网络和万维网(万维网) 的发展,因特网戏剧性地一直在成长并且变化。越来越联机的数据库系统和服务的不同类型为天文学研究是可得到的。怎么帮助用户发现他们通过信息服务的丛林的方法成为重要挑战。尽管天文学家们知道互操作性的重要性并且为未来作为一致环境介绍虚拟天文台的概念天体的联机资源和服务,异构的联机信息的透明存取仍然是困难的。SkyMouse 是为分布式的天体的联机资源和服务的一个小接口,它被我们设计并且发展,即,中国虚拟天文台工程。利用捕获词的技术,系统能通过简单老鼠行动被查询的信息的不同类型,和结果在一一致的网页被归还的屏幕。SkyMouse 是一个易用的应用程序,试图显示出基本信息或创造一个特定的天体的对象的全面概述。在联机资源和服务的这论文水流地位,存取被考察;SkyMouse 的系统建筑学,特征和函数被描述;为为联机天体的资源和服务的聪明的接口的挑战被讨论。
With the development of network and the World Wide Web (WWW), the Internet has been growing and changing dramatically. More and more on-line database systems and different kinds of services are available for astronomy research. How to help users find their way through the jungle of information services becomes an important challenge. Although astronomers have been aware of the importance of interoperability and introduced the concept of Virtual Observatory as a uniform environment for future astronomical on-line resources and services, transparent access to heterogeneous on-line information is still difficult. SkyMouse is a lightweight interface for distributed astronomical on-line resources and services, which is designed and developed by us, i.e., Chinese Virtual Observatory project. Taking advantage of screen word-capturing technology, different kinds of information systems can be queried through simple mouse actions, and results are returned in a uniform web page. SkyMouse is an easy to use application, aiming to show basic information or to create a comprehensive overview of a specific astronomical object. In this paper current status of on-line resources and services access is reviewed; system architecture, features and functions of SkyMouse are described; challenges for intelligent interface for on-line astronomical resources and services are discussed.
