Description : Starlink IVOA registry access
This package provides a set of classes which can be used to make
lightweight queries of an RI 1.0-compliant IVOA registry. In the
Virtual Observatory (VO), registries provide a means for discovering
useful resources, i.e., data and services. Individual publishers
offer the descriptions for their resources ("resource records") in
publishing registries.
.
This is not an all-singing or all-dancing registry client. The focus
is on something which does a limited job fast and in a small memory
footprint.
The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is part of
the effort to package the Virtual Observatory Java tools from Starlink.
A git repository will be created at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/starjava-registry.git
The package depends on the creation of ivoaregistry.
Best regards
Ole
