The VO protocol most suited to this kind of this is TAP ("table access protocol") and lets you transfer data and queries to database servers. In the example, we will be using TOPCAT as a client. There is no lock-in to it: There are libraries and other tools allowing an integration of TAP operations into arbitrary workflows – that's what standards are about. Tutorial supplements apply the techniques to Simbad, show how to use TAP from Python, and introduce UCDs.http://www.g-vo.org/pmwiki/About/GettingStartedResearchAmateurCitesTOPCATGAVO DC TAP serviceTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to The TAP crossmatch tutorial.
