SIAP (Simple Image Access Protocol) and SSAP (Simple Spectrum Access Protocol) are two emerging protocols in the Virtual Observatory context. Due to the simplicity and flexibility of these two simple protocols, it is easy to adapt existing archives to be VO compliant. It is also easy to make use of the available protocols to consume images and spectra in the VO context with appropriate clients and tools. The tutorial will consist of a Basic case and an Advanced case. The basic case will last 90 minutes. In this case, a basic SIAP and SSAP wrapping will be done on local files to adapt them to the VO infrastructure, and VO client utilities will be used to display the final information. The advanced case will give a deeper knowledge on how to build a real SIAP and SSAP service for real archived data. This tutorial has been designed to run with Java 1.4, and exists with instructions for the following platforms: |
