Paper Summary

The scientists designed a new way to search various types of astronomical data more easily. They took a popular database language called SQL and made it work for image and spectrum data. By turning the data structure into a table-like format, they built a universal language that can handle complex queries on any kind of astronomy database. This new language lets users query different types of data without needing to know specific query languages for each dataset.
