IA2 (Italian center for Astronomical Archive) is an Italian Astrophysical research e-infrastructure project that aims at co-ordinating different national initiatives to improve the quality of astrophysical data services. It aims at co-ordinating these developments and facilitating access to this data for research purposes. The IA2 is supported by INAF since 2005. IA2’s main goals consist in data archiving systems and safety, including data hosting and data curation and preservation, data and metadata distribution over geographical sites, access services including publication within the VO scenario. IA2 provides also services and tool to the community, like data sharing (owncloud), project management (redmine), software collaboration (git-lab) and has available a workflow manager (Yabi) for computational needs.

INAF Science Archives & the Big Data Challenge Workshop

The purpose of the workshop is to gather for discussion all main Italian actors involved in the use and management of astrophysical data, also within the interdisciplinary perspective of multimessenger. From an overview of the existing archives and their development, to the discussion of the Archive 2.0 concept for the Big Data, the different functionalities of archives will be presented. The use of modern era archives is no longer circumscribed to the search for scientific information, but it extends to providing the framework for the search, manipulation and analysis of data from telescopes, either terrestrial or satellite, of the new 2020 era.
