Abstract

We present the archive system developed for the long term storage and distribution of the data provided by ESA's International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL). The unique properties of INTEGRAL's data required the development of some new features (compared to standard archive components). We give a short overview of the main components of the system - namely the data ingestion software, the data organization concept, the archive database, the data distribution pipeline, and the modified Browse data access interface.
