Design and Implementation of a New Version of the Website "Glossary of Astronomical Terms"

The website "Glossary of Astronomical Terms" is an online platform for the Astronomical Terminology Committee of the Chinese Astronomical Society(ATCC)to officially approve astronomical terms and to provide public query/search or related services of these terms.With the progress of ATCC's approving work and increasing requirements from users on the functions of the database,the original website is no longer sufficient for these functions and information amounts.We design and develop a new version of the website with mature database and network technologies.The new version covers the entire process of establishing astronomical terminology,i.e.term collection,approving,release,query,and use.The new version satisfies requirements from users and the ATCC.We describe in the paper design principles and implementation methods of the new version.Following an analysis of the requirements,we emphatically give the details of the design and implementation of the backstage database and user interface.The website "Glossary of Astronomical Terms" is a typical simple database-driven network application system.Work and experiences as described in the paper provide practical references for similar systems.
