Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-05-02 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libastro-ads-perl Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Alasdair Allan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/A/AA/AALLAN/ * License : GPL Description : Modules for querying the Astrophysics Data System
The Astro::ADS module is an object orientated Perl interface to the Astrophysics Data System (ADS - http://adswww.harvard.edu/) abstract service. The ADS is a NASA-funded project whose main resource is an Abstract Service, which includes four sets of abstracts: 1) astronomy and astrophysics, containing 719,449 abstracts; 2) instrumentation, containing 608,834 abstracts; 3) physics and geophysics, containing 1,079,814 abstracts; and 4) Los Alamos preprint server, containing 4,104 abstracts. Each dataset can be searched by author, object name (astronomy only), title, or abstract text words. As this is an early release of the module only minimal query functionality is included, however all the backend interaction with the ADS server is in place and additional functionality (e.g. adding weights and scoring) should be along shortly. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux compsoc 2.4.18 #1 Sat Mar 2 16:16:34 GMT 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
