| | 3 | The Pulsar Virtual Observatory (VO) project is an endeavour to make publicly available the data from two large pulsar surveys done with the Parkes radio telescope: the 70-cm Southern Pulsar Survey, and the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The first software aspect of this project is to convert the survey data into a standard format that will be widely understandable. This will be the PSRFITS format, a variant of the FITS standard specialised for pulsar data structures but readable by anything that can read a FITS file. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | The second aspect will be constructing a web service that will be able to query and search the data set, and making this available through VO services. |
