iSpec: An integrated software framework for the analysis of stellar spectra

iSpec is an integrated spectroscopic software framework suitable for the creation of spectral libraries such as the Benchmark Stars library and the determination of atmospheric parameters (i.e. effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity) and individual chemical abundances. The framework can be used in automatic massive analysis, but it also includes a user-friendly visual interface that can easily interoperate with other astronomical applications such as TOPCAT, VOSpec and splat which provide access to the Virtual Observatory.
