The GAUDI database (Ground-based Asteroseismology Uniform Database Interface) is a preparatory archive for the COROT ( Convection, Rotation, and Planetary Transits) mission developed at the Laboratorio de Astrofisica Espacial y Fisica Fundamental (Laboratory for Space Astrophysics and Theoretical Physics, Spain). Its intention is to make the ground-based observations obtained in preparation of the asteroseismology program available in a simple and efficient way. It contains spectroscopic and photometric data together with inferred physical parameters for more than 1500 objects gathered since 1998 January 1998 in 6 years of observational campaigns. In this paper, the main functions and characteristics of the system are described.
