Development and operations of the astrophysics data system

Abstract service - Continued regular updates of abstracts in the databases, both at SA0 and at all mirror sites. - Modified loading scripts to accommodate changes in data format (PhyS) - Discussed data deliveries with providers to clear up problems with format or other errors (EGU) - Continued inclusion of large numbers of historical literature volumes and physics conference volumes xeroxed from the library. - Performed systematic fixes on some data sets in the database to account for changes in article numbering (AGU journals) - Implemented linking of ADS bibliographic records with multimedia files - Debugged and fixed obscure connection problems with the ADS Korean mirror site which were preventing successful updates of the data holdings. - Wrote procedure to parse citation data and characterize an ADS record based on its citation ratios within each database.
