Programme for the Post-processing and Analysis of Complex Large-Scale Spectroscopic Surveys Using the Virtual Observatory Protocols

Abstract

SPLAT-VO is a leading stellar spectra analysis tool that allows displaying, modifying and~analys\-ing astronomical spectra. It was developed in 2003 as a part of Starlink project and during its~lifecycle, it was extended to include facilities that allows an interoperability with the Virtual Observatory.

At these days, SPLAT-VO also serves as a reference implementation of new Virtual Observatory protocols and data models and is being enhanced in a way of interaction with other tools and collaboration, as well as user experience.

My adjustments were accepted by community enhancing its current capabilitites and will be a part of the next release. Expert community has been partially notified about my results at~Nostradamus 2015 conference and will be fully notified at SIMS2016 conference, where I will submit my actual results with deadline after finishing this thesis.
