AB: The Space Physics Data Markup Language (SPDML) is a prototype system that provides a standard method of data querying enabling multi-instrument comparison to TIMED data and tracing the Sun-Earth connection. It facilitates the development of an extensible standard for next generation multi-mission catalog searching capabilities such as those proposed for use in Virtual Observatories. SPDML defines a metadata-rich standard method for expressing Space Physics datasets utilizing XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and describes the structure, semantics and content of any space physics data set in any data format. SPDMLs extensibility has been demonstrated, both through its data dictionary that is compatible with the developing Space Physics Archive Search and Extract (SPASE) data dictionary, and by integrating it with another prototype system for accessing Space Physics Metadata - SRAS (Scientific Resource Access System). A testbed has been developed and deployed using data from the NASA TIMED spacecraft and ground-based SuperDARN radars to demonstrate the multi-mission search capabilities (http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/SPDML) and will be used to demonstrate Virtual Observatory concepts in action.
