The data explosion in astronomy requires the development of new techniques both from the infrastructure and from the analysis side. In particular, the increase of the data complexity demands a parallel effort to deliver efficient and standardized solutions for accessing and managing data, tools and software. The aim of the ESCAPE project is to build a huge European collaboration to face the...
STMOC -Space-Time MultiOrder Coverages - offer an unify solution for handling spatial and temporal coverages. This is one of the keys for efficient and fast interoperability tools. We will briefly present the principles of STMOC, the existing implementations, and some scientific use-cases.
The provenance data model proposed as a recommendation to the IVOA is now the base of several implementations. I focused on the capture of relevant provenance information within data processing packages like gammapy and ctapipe, and the job execution tool OPUS.
