Operations, curation and user support for the WFCAM science archive

For the remainder of the grant period we enter the WFCAM science archive operations phase. This will consist of technician-grade work (e.g. day-to-day housekeeping) as well as more research-oriented science validation and user support. We estimate a requirement of 1.5 staff-years over the period '03 Q4 through '06 Q3. Some archive scientist staff will be phased from programming effort (Bond/Hambly/Read) while technician-grade work will be phased from SuperCOSMOS operations (Thomson).
