## What can the Archive do?
|
|
|
The new archive for data hosted by KIS can be found at [https://sdc.leibniz-kis.de](https://sdc.leibniz-kis.de). The archive is publically available since the beginning of 2019 and started out with data from the [Gregor Infrared Spectrograph](http://www.leibniz-kis.de/en/observatories/gregor/scientific-instruments/) and has since kept on expanding features and data content. A summary of the projects state as of December 2019 can be found [here](https://wolke7.leibniz-kis.de/s/FYQpimepSFaZfzb). We can accomplish the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Host your data and ensure that it is not lost. We provide catastrophe safety as well as a definitive source for the most up-to-date data.
|
|
|
* Allow complex searches such as combined spatial, spectral and temporal querises as well as custom queries like specific filters or instrument modes.
|
|
|
* Visualize which dates are covered by your instrument.
|
|
|
* Disseminate your data to anyone via a webpage and Upcoming:~~via the IVOA Virtual Observatory~~
|
|
|
* Visualize observations with user-generated preview images and context data such as movies, log files or single image previews. This makes sorting, finding and talking about data a lot easier.

## How can your Data be added to the Archive?
|
|
|
We are currently focusing on adding internal instruments from KIS to our system. If you have data you think is worth integrating, please contact one of our [team members](Who's-who%3F) or drop us an email at sdc@leibniz-kis.de.

### Requirements for Data Providers
|
|
|
We've compiled a list of requirements and recommendations for data quality and structure that makes integration of new data into the Science Data Archive simple. These standards should also help make your data compatible with other projects and established tool suites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our recommendations and requirements are:
|
|
|
* Define what constitutes as an observation for your instrument. Help and examples can be found [here](standards_and_references/Observation-Segmentation)
|
|
|
* Use filenames that allow a direct association with an unique observation
|
|
|
* Ensure that your ***level1 science-ready data*** is as well formatted as possible. This means:
|
|
|
* ***ALWAYS*** adhere to the [FITS-Standard](https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_standard.html)
|
|
|
* Adhere to the [SOLARNET fits Header recommedations](https://wolke7.leibniz-kis.de/s/yHRnLJEH9YgZj9f) as far as possible. This makes [formal description of observations](standards_and_references/Observation-Document-Structure) much easier for us. If you need help, feel free to contact us or look at our [list of header specifications](standards_and_references/FITS-Header-Specifications).
