The Wide-Field Plate Database: A New Tool in Observational Astronomy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 Since the first applications of wide-field photography in astronomy nearly 2 million plates and films have been obtained and stored in archives all over the world. The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) provides astronomers with detailed information about the wide-field photographic observations.

Hypercat : A Database for extragalactic astronomy
, 1999 The Hypercat Database is developed at Observatoire de Lyon and is distributed on the WEB through different mirrors in Europe. The goal of Hypercat is to gather data necessary for studying the evolution of galaxies (dynamics and stellar contains) and particularly for providing a z=0 reference for these studies.

A Grid-Based Distributed Database Solution for Large Astronomy Datasets [PDF]
2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, 2008 The volume of digital astronomical data is set to expand dramatically over the next ten years, as new satellites, telescopes and instruments come online. For example, both the VISTA and DES programmes will yield databases 20-30 terabytes in size in the coming decade.
