Description : Modules for querying the Astrophysics Data System
The Astro::ADS module is an object orientated Perl interface to the
Astrophysics Data System (ADS - http://adswww.harvard.edu/) abstract
service. The ADS is a NASA-funded project whose main resource is an
Abstract Service, which includes four sets of abstracts: 1) astronomy
and astrophysics, containing 719,449 abstracts; 2) instrumentation,
containing 608,834 abstracts; 3) physics and geophysics, containing
1,079,814 abstracts; and 4) Los Alamos preprint server, containing
4,104 abstracts. Each dataset can be searched by author, object name
(astronomy only), title, or abstract text words.
As this is an early release of the module only minimal query
functionality is included, however all the backend interaction with
the ADS server is in place and additional functionality (e.g. adding
weights and scoring) should be along shortly.
