AB: The Space Physics Archive Search and Exctract (SPASE) is a collaborative development effort among multi-institution, international, space physics data holding organizations intended to allow science users to find space physics data of interest, intercompare the data, and retrieve selected data sets or portions of data sets. The search would be done across multiple data centers through a single search initiated through a network accessible interface. The effort involves creation of a common space physics data dictionary and development of an intermediate level of software that will translate queries into the search mechanisms specific to each of the data centers. The results of the search are then put in a common format to present to the user. Thus, there is no need to change the software and search procedures used at the individual institutions. Data set intercomparisons will enable determination of which data sets or portions of data sets are useful for the purposes of the scientist/user and need to be requested from the data provider. The present status of the efforts and plans for the future will be discussed. We welcome discussion of the needs of the community and how to assure fulfillment of those needs.
