Title: The Data Zoo in Astro-WISE
Authors: Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Andrey N. Belikov, John P. McFarland

In this paper we describe the way the Astro-WISE information system (or simply Astro-WISE) supports the data from a wide range of instruments and combines multiple surveys and their catalogues. Astro-WISE allows ingesting of data from any optical instrument, survey or catalogue, processing of this data to create new catalogues and bringing in data from different surveys into a single catalogue, keeping all dependencies back to the original data. Full data lineage is kept on each step of compiling a new catalogue with an ability to add a new data source recursively. With these features, Astro-WISE allows not only combining and retrieving data from multiple surveys, but performing scientific data reduction and data mining down to the rawest data in the data processing chain within a single environment.

Title: The Astro-WISE
Authors: J. P. McFarland, E. M. Helmich, E. A. Valentijn

We present a novel approach to quality control during the processing of astronomical data. Quality control in the Astro-WISE Information System is integral to all aspects of data handing and provides transparent access to quality estimators for all stages of data reduction from the raw image to the final catalogue. The implementation of quality control mechanisms relies on the core features in this Astro-WISE Environment (AWE): an object-oriented framework, full data lineage, and both forward and backward chaining. Quality control information can be accessed via the command-line awe-prompt and the web-based Quality-WISE service. The quality control system is described and qualified using archive data from the 8-CCD Wide Field Imager (WFI) instrument on the 2.2-m MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla and (pre-)survey data from the 32-CCD OmegaCAM instrument on the VST telescope at Paranal.

Title: Astro-WISE Information System
Authors: Willem-Jan Vriend, Edwin A. Valentijn, Andrey Belikov, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn

Astro-WISE is a scientific information system for the data processing of optical images. In this paper we review main features of Astro-WISE and describe the current status of the system.
