Table information for 'rr.stc_spatial'

General

Table Description: The spatial coverage of resources. This table associates footprints (ADQL geometries) with ivoids. The footprints are intended for resource discovery; a reasonable expectation for the resolution thus is something like a degree.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description:

Tables containing the information in the IVOA Registry. To query these tables, use our TAP service.

For more information and example queries, see the RegTAP specification.

Columns

Sorted alphabetically. [Sort by DB column index]

NameTable Head DescriptionUnitUCD
coverage Coverage A geometry representing the area a resource contains data for; this should be tight at least with a resolution of degrees. N/A pos
ivoid Ivoid The parent resource. N/A N/A
ref_system_name Ref_system_name The reference frame coverage is written in. This is currently reserved and fixed to NULL. Clients should always add a constraint to NULL for this to avoid matching non-celestial resources later. N/A pos.frame
