The CDS Information Hub: Interoperability with Bibliography and Archives

The Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) has been collecting and distributing astronomical data for more than 25 years. It develops and maintains several reference databases, mainly an object database (SIMBAD), a catalogue database (VizieR) and an image database (Aladin). An important aspect consists also in developing links between these databases and other on-line services provided by the astronomical community.
