A new version of the binary star database BDB: Challenges and directions

Abstract

In accordance with the principles of open science, the results of the research should remain available for further investigations and practical interaction with them in the research community. Such results include collected initial and obtained data, specifications and implementations of methods applicable to them including data integration rules, and other possible resources. At the same time, the results of research on data should be curated to maintain their relevance, compliance with domain development, and standards in order to make them as useful as possible in the long term. A research support system in the research domain of physics of stellar systems is being developed to provide relevant data and methods, classify them, make them findable, avoid multiple integration of heterogeneous data, and integrate them into ongoing research in the astrophysical community. New catalogues are being added on regular basis, and this process is accompanied by correct cross-identification of the entities. New observational types of binary stars with their features are added to binary star database (https://bdb.inasan.ru).
