| الوصف: | Over roughly two decades, Strasbourg astronomical Data Center (CDS) managed to be recognized as an excellence center for stellar and non-stellar data (solar-system excluded) on a world-wide scale. After briefly recalling the CDS genesis, this chapter details the progressive international penetration of that small structure, ahead of the networking of the planet. Among the aspects reviewed are: the international membership of CDS Council, the participating observatories, the CDS international agreements, the geographical coverage of users, the international meetings, the publications, the staff, and, last but not least, the critical ventures with the space agencies without which CDS would not have remained on the international scene. Some tentative explanations of CDS ’ international acceptance are put forward, such as its genial basic idea (table of correspondence between catalog identifications) and more generally its excellent home-made products; right decisions taken at the right time by the initial managers; perceptiveness in terms of future needs; adequate response to the expectations of space agencies; and so on. |
