  Access to molecular and atomic data is critical for many forms of remote
sensing analysis across different fields. Many atomic and molecular databases
are however highly specialized for their intended application, complicating
querying and combination data between sources. The Virtual Atomic and Molecular
Data Centre, VAMDC, is an electronic infrastructure that allows each database
to register as a "node". Through services such as VAMDC's portal website, users
can then access and query all nodes in a homogenized way. Today all major
Atomic and Molecular databases are attached to VAMDC.
  This article describes the software tools we developed to help data providers
create and manage a VAMDC node. It gives an overview of the VAMDC
infrastructure and of the various standards it uses. The article then discusses
the development choices made and how the standards are implemented in practice.
It concludes with a full example of implementing a VAMDC node using a real-life
case as well as future plans for the node software.
