Timeline

Data Central is a small team developing an archive infrastructure and interface that is extensible and scalable, designed to meet the current and future needs of the Australian astronomical community. Our timeline shows the project milestones and notable events, but also gives a rough idea of our current to-do-list when it comes to implementing new services/components/features or ingesting new datasets.
