Astro-WISE is the Astronomical Wide-field Imaging System for Europe. It is a
scientific information system which consists of hardware and software federated
over about a dozen institutes throughout Europe. It has been developed to
exploit the ever increasing avalanche of data produced by astronomical surveys
and data intensive scientific experiments in general.
The demo explains the architecture of the Astro-WISE information system and
shows the use of Astro-WISE interfaces. Wide-field astronomical images are
derived from the raw image to the final catalog according to the user's
request. The demo is based on the standard Astro-WISE guided tour, which can be
accessed from the Astro-WISE website.
The typical Astro-WISE data processing chain is shown, which can be used for
data handling for a variety of different instruments, currently 14, including
OmegaCAM, MegaCam, WFI, WFC, ACS/HST, etc.
