Toward Planetary Virtual Observatory: AMDA ­ New WebTool of French Plasma Physics Data Center

These last years, CDPP has developed a new service, AMDA (Automated Multi­Dataset Analysis, http://cdpp­amda.cesr.fr/), which is a web­based facility for on line analysis of space physics data (heliosphere, magnetospheres, planetary environments) coming from either its local database or distant ones. AMDA has been recently integrated as a service to the scientific community for the Plasma Physics thematic node of the EuroPlaNet IDIS (Integrated and Distributed Information Service) activities. This tool allows the user to perform on line classical manipulations such as data visualization, parameter computation or data extraction. AMDA also offers innovative functionalities such as event search on the data in either visual or automated way. These functionalities extendable for automated recognition of specific signatures can be used for performing classification of events and for generating time­tables and catalogues. These time­tables can be seen as a brick of the up­ coming Virtual Observatories in space physics.
