AB: The Space Physics Archive Search and Extract (SPASE) team of representatives from throughout the solar and apace physics international community have continued to develop a Data Model and supportive tools for data description, location, and acquisition. SPASE Data Model 1.2 is now available through the SPASE website (http:www.spase-group.org). Hundreds of data sets have been described in accordance with this model but there is a need to describe more data sets from a broader spectrum of the heliophysics community data holdings. Tools for facilitating these data descriptions are being developed and can be tested in accordance with the present model. The SPASE effort facilitates the search and retrieval of data across the heliophysics Virtual Observatory data environment. An example of the types of search and retrieval than can presently be done based on SPASE-related data description can be found in the Virtual Space Physics Observatory Product Finder. The SPASE team continues to improve the Data Model by providing further capabilities to describe data down to the level of detailed data description. The group also continues to respond to feedback by the community for specific needs. We invite the general community to try the services that have been developed and join with us in developing still more versatility for the future.
