INTRODUCTION
Welcome to our new subscribers, including those who signed up at the American
Astronomical Society meeting in Toronto, Ontario this month. Thanks to all who
stopped by our booth this time. Due to network problems at the meeting, many
of you didn't get to try our on-line services at the exhibit booth. We
encourage you to stop by our home page at http://adc.astro.umd.edu/ and explore
our services for yourself. We're interested in your suggestions on how to
improve our services to better meet your needs.
Speaking of services, you may want to try out our new hypertext index access
to the ADC data collection. Two indices, one based on author names, and one
based on ADC subject keywords, are available. See
http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/adc_archive_access.html
for links to these services. (See our "What's New" page at
http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/whats_new.html
for more information on the latest from the ADC.)
Most of you have received the announcement of the release of "Selected
Astronomical Catalogs, Volume 3". Both the ASCII and FITS CD-ROMs are now
available. More information on this new CD-ROM catalog collection is provided
in this issue.
The 1990's have seen the rise of a number of Internet services providing access
to astronomical literature and associated data. Efforts are underway to better
link these services together. The result will be easier access to related
electronically published papers and data tables. The AAS is leading a
collaborative effort named Urania to accomplish this goal. Dr. Peter Boyce
describes this effort in an article in this issue.

Urania - the Universal Research Archive of Networked Information in Astronomy
Peter B. Boyce (American Astronomical Society)
What is Urania?
Named for the muse of astronomy, the Urania resource is composed of electronic
astronomical scholarly journals, bibliographic information, electronic
archives of original data, electronic astronomical catalogs, electronic copies
of the historical scholarly literature for the last twenty years and a special
reference system archive organized by object in the sky. Linked together
effectively by a mutual, standardized reference system, the separate resources
which make up Urania comprise a functioning digital library of astronomical
information, providing a power and utility which, until now, was only dreamed
of.
With the launching of Urania at the AAS meeting in Toronto, the dream of a
digital library for astronomy and astrophysics on the researcher's desktop is
now a reality. Within a year, over 90 percent of the world's scholarly
research literature in astronomy will be available on line and interlinked as
part of Urania. An on-line presence of this magnitude has not been achieved
before. With such a powerful array of information available globally, to
small institutions as well as large ones, the opportunity to participate in
forefront research will be opened to many more scientists. At the same time,
the ease of access and the effective, interlinked, electronic delivery of
information made possible by the Urania collaboration will be a major advance
for all researchers, even those at large institutions.
The new electronic journal articles as well as the historical literature are
all interlinked, both through the references as well as through the citations
to each article. If the full-featured electronic article is available in any
of the journals, the reader can link directly to the article. If not, the
abstract link via the NASA/ADS bibliographic database will lead to the page
images and to data tables, catalogs and other supplementary information.
The ADF provides the ability to search many catalogs of astronomical objects
at once, returning the objects of interest and eventually providing links
directly to the the other available on-line resources.
Users also may enter the system by looking up an object of interest in one of
the specialized databases, SIMBAD or NED, finding the basic data and all
references containing data on that object as well as images and other advanced
information. As with the journal articles, links will bring you to the
literature where you can search for similar articles, follow references and
citations both forward and backward, and print out at your own printer the
page images of those articles you wish to keep.
The key to the ability to interlink so many distributed resources is the use
of a standard name for the journal articles and other items of digital
information. For the last decade, the astronomical data centers have
pioneered the use of a standard "bibcode" to identify references. All the
journals participating in Urania have agreed to adopt the same naming
convention. The bibcode for journal articles can be computed automatically
and inserted into reference lists without human intervention. Combined with
the use of name resolvers which direct the link request to the appropriate
distributed resource, the bibcodes provide the necessary integrated
functionality to make the Urania system work effectively, even though the
component parts are independently assembled and maintained.
What is Available via Urania?
At present, Urania is composed of the following components:
Peer Reviewed Journals:
The Astrophysical Journal (18,500 pages)
The Astrophysical Journal Supplements (4,000 pages)
The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2,500 pages)
Astronomical Journal (6,000 pages - March 1997)
Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplements (3,500 pages - expected shortly)
Astronomy and Astrophysics (13,5000 pages - coming in 1997)
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (1,500 pages -
coming in 1997)
Bibliographic Resources:
NASA/Astrophysics Data System (searchable authors, titles, abstracts - links
to articles and data)
Data Centers:
Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS)

We expect more organizations to join the Urania resource and adopt the
necessary standards and protocols to allow full interlinked access to their
data and information.

Update on the "Selected Astronomical Catalogs, Volume 3" CD-ROM
Gail L. Schneider (Hughes STX)
As announced on January 7, the CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical Catalogs, Volume
3" is now available from the ADC. At the time of the announcement, only the
ASCII version was available for distribution, the FITS version has arrived
and can now be ordered (see ordering information below).
During the 189th meeting of the AAS, held January 12-16 in Toronto, the ADC
distributed or took orders for over 100 discs. The ASCII version of Volume 3
was by far the most popular, but we also distributed a number of Volume 1 and
2 discs. The NSSDC Request Coordination Office has received requests for over
335 Volume 3 discs to date, this number includes the 79 Volume 3 discs that
were distributed during the AAS meeting.
If you have not yet ordered your copy of either Volumes 1 or 2 and want to
know more about their contents, you can access this information through the
WWW at
http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/adc_other_media.html.
We have received our first error report on Volume 3 (please see my
article below for more information about the error).
Below is the Volume 3 CD-ROM contents list. Please note that all of
the catalogs were extensively reviewed prior to CD-ROM processing.
In many cases, the ReadMe files were revisited or standardized and
catalogs were reformatted and or corrected. Many of the catalogs are
not included in my article "Newly Acquired and Updated Catalogs/Journal
Tables" and are also available through the WWW at
http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/adc_archive_access.html.

Errata for the ADC CD-ROM, Volume 3
Gail L. Schneider (Hughes STX)
The Astronomical Data Center CD-ROM, Selected Astronomical Catalogs,
Volume 3, has been publicly available since January 7, 1997. An error
has been reported on this volume, the error has been verified by our
staff and our results are reported below (see Editor's Note).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The IUE Atlas of O-type Stellar Spectra (catalogs/3115/spectra.dat)
Submitted by Jason Aufdenberg, Arizona State University
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi -
I have found an error on the ADC CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical
Catalogs, Vol. 3 - ASCII Version".
An error in the "International Ultraviolet Explorer Atlas of
O-type Spectra from 1200 to 1900 A",
file: cdrom/CATALOGS/3115/SPECTRA.DAT
Byte-by-byte Description of file: spectra.dat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bytes Format Units Label Explanations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- 10 A10 --- ID *HD/HDE or Sanduleak (Sk) number of star
13- 16 I4 0.1nm lambda *Wavelength of first flux/quality pair
18- 26 F9.5 --- flux_1 *Normalized flux at wavelength=lambda
29- 32 F4.2 --- qual_1 *Data quality flag associated with flux_1
34- 42 F9.5 --- flux_2 Normalized flux at wavelength=lambda+0.025 nm
45- 48 F4.2 --- qual_2 Data quality flag associated with flux_2
50- 58 F9.5 --- flux_3 Normalized flux at wavelength=lambda+0.050 nm
61- 64 F4.2 --- qual_3 Data quality flag associated with flux_3
66- 74 F9.5 --- flux_4 Normalized flux at wavelength lambda+0.075 nm
77- 80 F4.2 --- qual_4 Data quality flag associated with flux_4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first 10 bytes are incorrect, the HDE/HDE or Sanduleak (Sk) number
is wrong. For example, the first block of data, star 5005A, is
labeled 108. As a result all the labels are off by one star in the
list (file: STARS.DAT). To obtain the data for a particular star "X"
in the list, I must select the data labeled "X-1" in the list. I
noticed this when I tried to retrieve data for star HD163758 and
compared it was the spectrum published in "O Stars and Wolf-Rayet
Stars: Monograph Series on Nonthermal Phenomena in Stellar Atmospheres
NASA SP497, Conti and Underhill" page 89, figure 2-1. This spectrum
looked nothing like the one in the figure. However, if I retrieve the
data labeled HD 162978, one block before the data labeled HD163758,
the spectrum looks exactly like the figure of HD163758.
I don't know if the data for star HD108 are missing from SPECTRA.DAT
(it doesn't appear in the list STARS.DAT), but the labels in file,
SPECTRA.DAT, are incorrect.
cheers,
Jason Aufdenberg
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Arizona State University
Editor's Note: The entry for star HD108 is missing from the file stars.dat on
Volume 3. However, a check of the spectral data contained in spectra.dat for
four stars: HD108, HD5005A, HD162978, and HD163758 against the plots in the
hardcopy version of Walborn et al. showed them all to agree. That is, we did
not find evidence for the misidentification (label sequence shift) reported.
A further check of the spectrum of HD163758 against the figure on page 89 of
Conti and Underhill showed them to be the same. Thus all three renditions of
that spectrum are identical. Detailed features of the plots, such as details in
the Fe V, O IV, SiIV and C IV lines were used to match the spectra.
