Abstract

Description

We have collected the largest existing set of radio source lists in machine-readable form: 320 tables with 1.75 million records. Only a minor fraction of these is accessible via public databases. We describe our plans to make this huge amount of heterogeneous data accessible in a homogeneous way via the World Wide Web, with reliable cross-identifications, and searchable by various observables.
3 pages, TeX, paper presented on IAU Colloq. on "International Cooperation in Dissemination of Astronomical Data" July 3-5, 1996, St.-Petersburg, Russia; to appear in Baltic Astronomy
