Résumé

In the frame of solar-terrestrial physics and the related space weather applications, a brief overview is given on the available resources to access solar, interplanetary, geospace and geophysical data, with special emphasis on the creation of a Solar-Terrestrial Data Planetary Meta-Archive (STDPMA) to exploit their full potentialities as a huge, inhomogeneous, distributed dataset in a user-transparent way by means of the new technologies in database management and user interface design.
