Abstract
Summary form only given. The Hubble space telescope (HST) Ingest program reads files representing external database tables of any topology, normalizes or joins the tables to the HST catalog database topology, parses and converts data values, and writes the tuples to the HST catalog. Ingest is driven by translation tables defining the interdatabase mapping and can be altered on-the-fly. Ingest has proven to be a powerful tool in an environment where multiple databases rapidly evolve
