Sharing Policies and Plans
All of the data and code being assembled as part of MilkyWay3D.org are being shared publicly.
Specific individual data sets are available via public Google Drives.
Some packages of related data files will be NASA’s Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) archive and/or the MilkyWay3D Dataverse.
Where appropriate, data collected for MilkyWay3D.org are being added to the Digital Universe database used inside of OpenSpace.
Saved glue sessions and OpenSpace profiles that allow anyone to recreate any saved combination of data and visualizations are provided via this public Google Drive.
Executable files, along with the data required to run them, will be provided, using the tools of LIVE-Astro, at this MilkyWay3D.org site.
