Séverin Gaudet
(National Research Council Canada)
Description
This talk will present the CADC's current activities related to the development of science platform infrastructure, open software and data sharing standards in astronomy (image cutouts, VO services, interactive work sessions, batch processing, data models, user database services, etc.). These activities are directly influenced by and in support of our participation in the CIRADA project and are informing our understanding of what an SKA Regional Centre should look like. It will also present Canada's current expectations around how an SKA Regional Centre fits into the broader picture of data science in Canadian astronomy.
