Information on Service 'Shomydl Datalink Formatter'

Further access options are discussed below

Shomydl shows Datalink documents in a web browser using the XSLT used in DaCHS. It is meant to give authors of such documents an idea of how clients would interpret their document.

Service Documentation

Caveats:

This will only work with modern (namespace URI 1.3) VOTables
The service is based on XSLT, which means that only TABLEDATA-serialised VOTables will work here.
We will transform processing services with a standardID of ivo://ivoa.net/std/SODA#sync-1.0 and swallow all others. If you have other services and an idea what this should be doing with them, do let us know.

In addition to the form interface, this also supports a DALI-type API. Uploads work like in TAP. For instance, http://dc.g-vo.org/shomydl/q/f/api?UPLOAD=in_data,http://foo.bar/dl.xml would translate the datalink document at http://foo.bar/dl.xml.

Overview

You can access this service using:

form -- an interface for web browsers through an HTML form
api -- an interface for operation with curl and similar low-level tools. The endpoint is at http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/shomydl/q/f/api?; as usual for DALI-conforming services, parameters an response structure is available by querying with MAXREC=0.

This service is published as follows:

Within the set(s) ivo_managed with the renderer api
Within the set(s) local,ivo_managed with the renderer form

local means it is listed on our front page, ivo_managed means it has a record in the VO registry.
