“…Since intensive analysis of 3D data is needed and given the experience acquired by the group in radio-VO developments (Ruíz, J. E. et al, 2009), a collaboration has started with the Kapteyn Institute for upgrading the GIPSY software in order to produce a friendly VOintegrated package for high-level analysis of datacubes, with applicability to different multidimensional datasets and wavelengths. The final result will provide a more efficient way to treat data cubes, and will allow a way to get more and better science out of the data.…”

The scientific goals of the AMIGA project are based on the analysis of a significant amount of spectroscopic 3D data. In order to perform this work we present an initiative to develop a new VO compliant package, including present core applications and tasks offered by the Groningen Image Processing System (GIPSY), and new ones based on use cases elaborated in collaboration with advanced users. One of the main goals is to provide local interoperability between GIPSY (visualization and data analysis) and other VO software. The connectivity with the Virtual Observatory environment will provide general access to 3D data VO archives and services, maximizing the potential for scientific discovery.

“…This was possible because AMIGA scientific activities (e.g. Verdes-Montenegro et al, 2005) are being supported by a group of software engineers specialised in radio archives within the VO framework (see Ruíz et al, 2008, for a review of AMIGA VO activities).…”

The Virtual Observatory (VO) is becoming the de-facto standard for astronomical data publication. However, the number of radio astronomical archives is still low in general, and even lower is the number of radio astronomical data available through the VO. In order to facilitate the building of new radio astronomical archives, easing at the same time their interoperability with VO framework, we have developed a VO-compliant data model which provides interoperable data semantics for radio data. That model, which we call the Radio Astronomical DAta Model for Single-dish (RADAMS) has been built using standards of (and recommendations from) the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). This article describes the RADAMS and its components, including archived entities and their relationships to VO metadata. We show that by using IVOA principles and concepts, the effort needed for both the development of the archives and their VO compatibility has been lowered, and the joint development of two radio astronomical archives have been possible. We plan to adapt RADAMS to be able to deal with interferometry data in the future.
