This user guide focuses on the two main users of this service:
Operations users will create and update new versions of the Global Sky Model.
Pipeline developers will request a Local Sky Model, which will be written to a file, and ingested by the pipeline when it runs.
How to request a Local Sky Model
The process by which pipelines should request a Local Sky Model (LSM) is described on the page Requesting Local Sky Model data.
The CSV file format used to save the LSM data is described in the design sections: LSM file structure.
In addition, we provide an API to easily review a subset of the GSM data in the browser, which is described at Viewing LSM data in a browser.
How to upload data to the Global Sky Model
A browser interface and corresponding API are provided for uploading catalogue data in the form of CSV files. See: Uploading GSM data.
