The VizieR database of astronomical catalogues

VizieR is a database grouping in an homoge- neous way thousands of astronomical catalogues gath- ered for decades by the Centre de Donn ees de Strasbourg (CDS) and participating institutes. The history and cur- rent status of this large collection is briefly presented, and the way these catalogues are being standardized to t in the VizieR system is described. The architecture of the database is then presented, with emphasis on the man- agement of links and of accesses to very large catalogues. Several query interfaces are currently available, making use of the ASU protocol, for browsing purposes or for use by other data processing systems such as visualisa- tion tools.
