Paper Abstract
The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC) manages the data collections of the CFHT, JCMT, HST and Gemini
telescopes plus data from several other projects. In the past five years, the role of the CADC has changed. It is now an
integral part of telescope operations and provides support for PIs, project teams and the Virtual Observatory. This paper
will describe the drivers for this new role, how the CADC has responded to these needs and the operational experience
with three major telescope facilities. The advantages and disadvantages of this role for a multi-mission data centre will
also be discussed.
