Class GlotsServiceFinder
java.lang.Object
uk.ac.starlink.vo.GlotsServiceFinder
- All Implemented Interfaces:
TapServiceFinder
TapServiceFinder implementation that uses the GloTS schema
maintained (at time of writing) at the GAVO Data Center.
GloTS is a non-standard registry containing metadata gathered
by hook or by crook from all known registered TAP services.
It is not very respectable to use this resource; the correct way to find out this kind of thing is using the standard interfaces of the IVOA Registry. However, at time of writing (June 2015) the Registry does not contain sufficiently detailed metadata (in particular, lists of table names and descriptions for each service) to do the job, while GloTS does.
