Implementing, with Python and PostgreSQL, Virtual Observatory services for publishing survey data from the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre
The Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (CEFCA) is carrying out from the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ, Teruel, Spain) two large area multiband photometric sky surveys, J-PLUS and J-PAS, covering the entire optical spectrum using narrow and broad band filters. As an effort to make public the data, we offer Virtual Observatory (VO) compliant services to make more versatile the access to the data through the multiple VO compliant existent tools. For example, catalogues are offered through TAP protocol and images can be searched and downloaded using SIAP protocol. This contribution summarizes why we decided to make our own implementation, the process followed to choose which services to implement according to the kind of data generated by the survey, why Python and PostgreSQL were chosen and, finally, the lessons learned.
