Introduction
This section gathers various actions to access data content from EPN-TAP services.
VESPA user search interface / portal
• The main user interface is located here: http://vespa.obspm.fr
It queries all services at once (other modes are available), formats the results, and connects with VO tools and other environments (ObsParis)
Roadmap for developments: VESPA user interface
...
• Generic TAP clients are also usable (e. g., TapHandle, TAP Library, TOPCAT, and Aladin from v10) but do not provide specific support for EPNCore-based services
EPN-TAP library(ies)
EPN-TAP client libraries have been developed and included in some VO tools: CASSIS, 3Dview, + AMDA in the future (IRAP/CNRS)
Users requirements / use cases (obsolete?): VESPA Clients specifications
Library specifications doc: VESPA EPN-TAP Library specification
Java implementation: https://gitlab.irap.omp.eu/OV-GSO-DC/EpnTAPClient/
PHP/JavaScript implementation: in dev, TBD
Added SAMP plug-ins
Several tools have been updated so they're able to send / receive data through SAMP:
...
• Autoplot can now receive data via SAMP (Iowa Uni): Available tools
Google Sheet Add-on
Allows to query EPN-TAP services from on-line documents: easy access interface through on-line Excel-like sheet (Graz)
The preview of the tool can be found here >> https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5hOkAv922Z6OVlQLUJENDQxRTg
A short tutorial describing basic features and usage can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5hOkAv922Z6OU9fN3RyQ0JRZGc
(included in D6.9)
Links to various environments (tutorials)
Are being defined:
EPN-TAP files retrieving interface
A set of web services providing file URL in JSON format, intended for pipeline processing
See this page: File grabbing interface (fgi)
Python interface
Limited to grabbing VOtables sent from VESPA
Info here: VESPA usage for non VO people
Baptiste's exercise during DPS/EPSC 2016 / Astropy for Planetary Science session ("SAMP in python .ipynb")
IDL interface
Limited to reading VOtables downloaded from VESPA
Info here: VESPA usage for non VO people
Stéphane's exercice to read VOtables from IDL - tuto TBD
