HERSCHEL USERS QUESTIONNAIRE 2014
This survey is designed to optimize the impact of the Herschel Science Archive (HSA)  in the community by the identification of potentially  critical aspects of its data format, functionalities, and documentation.

You can help in this endeavor by responding to this questionnaire developed by the Herschel Users' Group (HUG). Your replies will remain anonymous, and will be considered from only a statistical point of view. The questions can be answered very rapidly, and should require no more than 5 minutes of your time. Thank you for your collaboration.

How important would it be to be able to access single photometric or spectroscopic bands (e.g., PACS) in the HSA query?
.
extremely unimportant

Clear selection
Could you suggest additional options for queries that you would like to see available in the HSA
What products did you access?
Once a target is selected and the data downloaded from the HSA, how would you rate the current organisation (e.g., the sub-directory structure and naming protocols) of the data assuming that they are used outside of HIPE?
Clear selection
Did you find it easy to convert the data to your preferred format?
very difficult
very straightforward
Clear selection
Could you suggest improvements for nomenclature, format or organisation of the downloaded data?
How important would you rate the availability of standalone products accessible directly from the query results (i.e., to be able to avoid selecting them from a choice in Retrieval option)?
extremely unimportant
extremely useful
Clear selection
Rate the documentation on the files accessible in the HSA.
very bad
excellent
