“…In order to compose the light curve of V 350 Cep we tried to find old photographic observations covering the field of NGC 7129. The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) which is available at http : //www .skyarchive.org (Tsvetkov et al 1997) was used to find deep photographic plates. The catalogues of the following 8 telescopes were checked: the 67/92 cm Asiago Schmidt; the 60/90 cm Campo Imperatore Schmidt; the 60/90 cm Torun Schmidt; the 134/200 cm Tautenburg Schmidt; the 45/77 cm Copenhagen Schmidt; the 40/60 cm Edinburgh Schmidt; the 60/90 cm Beijing Schmidt and the 4 m Kitt Peak RC.…”

Abstract-Big data is a broad term with numerous dimensions, most notably: big data characteristics, techniques, software systems, application domains, computing platforms, and big data milieu (industry, government, and academia). In this paper we briefly introduce fundamental big data characteristics and then present seven case studies of big data techniques, systems, applications, and platforms, as seen from academic perspective (industry and government perspectives are not subject of this publication). While we feel that it is difficult, if at all possible, to encapsulate all of the important big data dimensions in a strict and uniform, yet comprehendible language, we believe that a set of diverse case studies -like the one that is offered in this paper -a set that spreads over the principal big data dimensions can indeed be beneficial to the broad big data community by helping experts in one realm to better understand currents trends in the other realms.

“…The information described above is placed in the WFPA archive (http://www.skyarchive.org/ ) and observations, in the WFPDB; they are available with the key CRI at the address: http://draco.skyarchive.org/search/, or through the catalog VI/90 in the VizieR database (Tsvetkov et al 1997). Prospects for scientific research with the DBO and the archive of direct images are described in detail in Bondar' & Shlyapnikov (2009) and Vavilova et al (2012b).…”

Abstract. We describe the main principles of formation of databases (DBs) with information about astronomical objects and their physical characteristics derived from observations obtained at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) and published in the "Izvestiya of the CrAO" and elsewhere. Emphasis is placed on the DBs missing from the most complete global library of catalogs and data tables, VizieR (supported by the Center of Astronomical Data, Strasbourg). We specially consider the problem of forming a digital archive of observational data obtained at the CrAO as an interactive DB related to database objects and publications. We present examples of all our DBs as elements integrated into the Crimean Astronomical Virtual Observatory. We illustrate the work with the CrAO DBs using tools of the International Virtual Observatory: Aladin, VOPlot, VOSpec, in conjunction with the VizieR and Simbad DBs.
