| Abstract: |
The Virtual Observatory (VO) Registry is a comprehensive directory of
astronomical services maintained collaboratively by major data centers
across the globe. Until now, the API to the Registry as used by clients
and users relied on several outdated standards, and has interoperability
issues with more advanced queries. With RegTAP, there is now
a relational schema exposed via the VO's Table Access Protocol as
implemented by many clients, and several compliant services already
exist. While many users will just use UIs operating RegTAP , both
advanced users and client authors will want to directly operate the API.
This paper provides an overview of RegTAP. |
