  C: Astronomical Sky Atlas and star catalogue for astronomical images and datasets
Description:
  fr: >-
    <p>Aladin est logiciel interactif d’atlas du ciel permettant de visualiser des images astronomiques numérisées, de superposer
    des données de catalogues ou bases de données astronomiques et de manière interactive accéder aux données et informations
    de la base de données Simbad, du service VizieR et d’autres archives à partir de toutes les sources relatives à l’astronomie.</p>

    <p>Créé en 1999 par le Centre de données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS), Aladin est devenu un outil largement utilisé
    par le cadriciel VO (Virtual Observatory), capable de faire face à des problèmes tels que la localisation de données intéressantes,
    l’accession et l’exploration des ensembles de données distribués et la visualisation de données de plusieurs longueurs
    d’onde. Le respect des normes de VO, existantes ou en gestation, l’interopérabilité avec d’autres outils de visualisation
    et d’analyse et la possibilité de facilement comparer des données hétérogènes sont les principaux sujets qui permettent
    à Aladin d’être un outil puissant d’exploration et d’intégration de données.</p>

    <p>Aladin is an interactive software sky atlas allowing the user to visualise digitised astronomical images, to superimpose
    entries from astronomical catalogues or databases, and to interactively access related data and information from the Simbad
    database, the VizieR service and other archives for all known sources in the field.</p>

    <p>Created in 1999 by the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS), Aladin has become a widely-used tool of
    the Virtual Observatory (VO) framework capable of addressing challenges such as locating data of interest, accessing and
    exploring distributed datasets, and visualising multi-wavelength data. Compliance with existing or emerging VO standards,
    interconnection with other visualisation or analysis tools, and the ability to easily compare heterogeneous data are the
    key topics which allow Aladin to be a powerful data exploration and integration tool.</p>

    <p>Aladin er et interaktivt himmelatlas, der giver brugeren mulighed for at visualisere digitale astronomiske billeder,
    at overlejre punkter fra astronomiske kataloger eller databaser og til interaktivt at tilgå relaterede data og information
    fra Simbaddatabasen, tjenesten VizieR og andre arkiver for alle kendte kilder i feltet.</p>

    <p>Oprettet i 1999 af Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS), og nu er Aladin et bredt anvendt værktøj for
    rammen Virtual Observatory (VO), som kan adressere udfordringer såsom at finde interessante data, tilgå og udforske distribuerede
    datasæt og visualisere data med flere bølgelængder. Overholder eksisterende VO-standarder eller kommende VO-standarder,
    forbindelse med andre visualiserings- eller analyseværktøjer, og mulighed for nemt at sammenligne heterogene data er de
    vigtigste områder, som gør, at Aladin er et funktionsrigt udforsknings- og integrationsværktøj.</p>

    <p>Aladin è un programma per atlante interattivo del cielo che permette all&apos;utente di visualizzare immagini astronomiche
    digitalizzate, di sovraimporre voci da database o cataloghi astronomici e di accedere in maniera interattiva ai dati e
    alle informazioni correlati del database Simbad, del servizio VizieR e di altri archivi per tutte le fonti conosciute
    nel campo.</p>

    <p>Creato nel 1999 dal centro dati astronomici di Strasburgo (CDS, Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg), Aladin
    è diventato uno strumento ampiamente usato dell&apos;infrastruttura Virtual Observatory (VO) capace di affrontare sfide
    come localizzare i dati di interesse, accedere ed esplorare insiemi distribuiti di dati e visualizzare dati con lunghezze
    d&apos;onda multiple. La conformità con gli standard del VO esistenti o emergenti, l&apos;interconnessione con altri strumenti
    di analisi o visualizzazione e la capacità di confrontare facilmente dati eterogenei sono gli argomenti chiave che permettono
    ad Aladin di essere un potente strumento per integrazione ed esplorazione di dati.</p>
