WDS Member Organization: Italian Center for Astronomical Archive - IA2

Abstract:
Italian Astronomical Archives (IA2) have since long time a central role for astronomical data preservation, distribution and publication in Italy. Since the strong utilization of the infrastructure also for disparate scientific applications, several new tools were developed to support the scientific astronomy community. Moreover the IA2 infrastructure supports the INAF (Istituto Nazionale di AstroFisica) ICT services as well, so the mixture of the two experiences lighted a better comprehension of user'aims needs and gave us new ideas for services development. A brief description of current available functionalities and new aims will be described.
