The VESPA infrastructure uses the IVOA registry to declare VESPA services. Each VESPA data provider has to register with this Registry and declare a naming authority. The naming authority is responsible for declaring and maintaining declaration of services that are under its naming authority. The ivo-id
(IVOA identifier) is a URI starting with ivo://
followed by the naming authority short name. A "/
" character is appended and the following is whatever path-like structure you decide as a naming authority.
Detailed informations and guidelines on ivo-id
are available on the IVOA website: http://www.ivoa.net/documents/latest/IDs.html
An ivo-id validator is available at GAVO: http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/ivoidval/q/val/form

NASA dust catalogue TAP service | The Cosmic dust catalog is an internal resource of the SBDN, since we have internally developed original services to access this catalogs. NASA's Cosmic dust catalog 15 and 18 have been joined to obtain this service. 467 (from catalog 15) plus 957 (from catalog 18) dust grains with their main characteristics, images and X-ray spectra are listed. Not only cosmic dust particles are listed, but also terrestrial contamination (natural), terrestrial contamination (artificial) and aluminium oxide spheres. | IAPS/INAF | ivo://ia2.inaf.it | ivo://ia2.inaf.it/hosted/iaps/epn/tap/nasadustcat | XML |
