Introduction

This page contains general information on the following IVOA Theory Interest Group projects :

• SNAP : Simple Numerical Data Access Protocol : this project is now closed and has been split in SimDB & SimDAP projects
• SimDB : Simulation Database Model Specifications
• SimDAP : Simulation Data Access Protocol

IVOA TIG site : http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaTheory

This project started in march 2008 and is still in progress.

This content was presented and discussed during IVOA InterOp meetings :

• 19-23 May 2008: Stazione Marittima, Trieste, ITALY.
• 26-31 October, 2008: Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

The main authors are :

• Herve Wozniak (IVOA TIG Chair, EuroVO TIG Chair, Observatoire Astronomique de Strasbourg, France)
• Gerard Lemson (EuroVO TIG Chair, GAVO, garching, Germany)
• Claudio Gheller (CINECA, Itealy)
• Rick Wagner (CADAC, USA)
• Laurent Bourgès (EuroVO DCA Project, VOParis, France) till 01/2009

The project is composed by two parts :

• SimDB : Leaded by Gerard Lemson (mpe.de) : UML Data Model & XSLT pipeline (html, xml schema, java code)
• SimDAP : Leaded by Claudio Gheller (inaf.it) : Data Access protocol for web applications using SimDB databases & XML documents.
