The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and nonluminous matter in the universe: a photometrically and astrometrically calibrated digital imaging survey of pi sr above about Galactic latitude 30 degrees in five broad optical bands to a depth of g' similar to 23 mag, and a spectroscopic survey of the approximately 10(6) brightest galaxies and 10(5) brightest quasars found in the photometric object catalog produced by the imaging survey. This paper summarizes the observational parameters and data products of the SDSS and serves as an introduction to extensive technical on-line documentation.
