We will build an astronomy data facility to provide database facilities to analyse data from three major Australian optical astronomy projects, SkyMapper, WiggleZ and GAMA. The facility will provide efficient analysis tools not only for the researchers immediately involved with the projects, but, for the entire national and international astronomical community when the data become public. Long-term maintenance of the facility is vital, so the facility will be standards-compliant and stable to facilitate long-term support. For this reason the facility will be based at the ANU Supercomputer Facility (ANUSF) to leverage substantial expertise in this area and to provide long-term operations support.

我们将建立一个天文数据设施，为澳大利亚三大光学天文项目SkyMapper、WiggleZ和GAMA的数据分析提供数据库设施。该设施不仅将为立即参与项目的研究人员提供有效的分析工具，而且在数据公开后，将为整个国家和国际天文学界提供有效的分析工具。该设施的长期维护至关重要，因此该设施将符合标准并保持稳定，以促进长期支持。因此，该设施将设在澳大利亚国立大学超级计算机设施（ANUSF），以利用该领域的大量专业知识，并提供长期运营支持。
