Strasbourg astronomical Data Center (CDS) is dedicated to the collection and worldwide distribution of astronomical data and
related information. Alongside data curation and service maintenance responsibilities, the CDS undertakes R&D activities that
are fundamental to ensure the long term sustainability in a domain in which technology evolves very quickly. R&D areas include
informatics, big data, and development of the astronomical Virtual Observatory (VO). CDS is a major actor in the VO with leading
roles in European VO projects, the French Virtual Observatory and the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). The
CDS hosts the SIMBAD astronomical database, the world reference database for the identification of astronomical objects; VizieR,
the catalogue service for the CDS reference collection of astronomical catalogues and tables published in academic journals;
and the Aladin interactive software sky atlas for access, visualization and analysis of astronomical images, surveys, catalogues,
databases and related data.
