2. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School IRAF Integration: NVO Package Strategies : Build upon VOClient Support scripting and compiled task development Provide low-level toolbox utilities that enable higher-level script task development –Let the user decide how to build the application best suited to them Provide high-level demonstration science applications (scripts) –People learn from examples –Can easily modify to get slightly different behavior Simplify interfaces as much as possible –Dont require detailed knowledge of VO protocols to use the data

3. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School IRAF Integration: NVO Package High-Level Applications - Common Features Uses local image footprint for query Object name resolved to position (plus search size) Arbitrary RA/DEC position (plus search size) Query in alternate coordinate systems (e.g. ecliptic, galactic) –VO standard is (non-intuitive) decimal degrees –Leverage IRAF capabilities to transform coords Tables output as ASCII text (others available)

4. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School IRAF Integration: NVO Package Low-Level (Toolbox) Applications Provide data access –Catalog / Image data –Raw URL (REST Services) access cl> vocatalog GSC2.2 180.0 0.0 0.25 insys=ecliptic cl> voimage 2MASS 180.0 0.0 0.25 cl> type getData(http://iraf.net)http://iraf.net Compiled Tasks provide –Access to services/data not suited to CL functions Utility functions such as –Result table manipulation (clipping, selection, conversion, etc) –Display/overlay functionality –Coordinate manipulation/conversion

5. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School5 Registry Access – Task Browser REGISTRY Task –Keyword search –Service Type –Bandpass –Arbitrary SQL constraint –Interactive browsing of results to further constrain output Very helpful when developing to find a set of related resources you might want to offer in a task (e.g. Alternate access to a data service)

Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School IRAF Integration: VO-CL Registry Query Interface str = regResolver (shortName,[svctype[,attr[,index]]]) N = nresolved () resource = regSearch (term [, orValues]) resource = regSearch (keywords, orValues) resource = regSearch (sql, keywords, orValues) resource = regSvcSearch (svcType, searchTerm, orValues) count = regResultCount (resource) str = regValue (resource, attr_list, resIndex)

8. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School IRAF Integration: VO-CL DAL Interface qres = dalConeSvc (url, ra, dec, sr) qres = dalSiapSvc (url, ra, dec, rsize[, dsize[, fmt]]) count = dalRecordCount (qres) stat = dalGetData (qres, recnum, fname) val = dalGet[Str|Int|Dbl] (qres, attrname, recnum) fname = getData (url, [fname])

9. Sep 6, 20082008 NVO Summer School9 Data Access – CL Language fname = getData (acref, [, filename]) Provides general access to a URI –Returns a filename and so can be used as an argument to a task –Uses default filename for opaque access to temporary data –When accessing images, filename must be specified with the file extension
