Collaborative Page for SSA Interface
SSA has been promoted to a Preliminary Recommendation, and is
currently undergoing a public request for comments. See the
SSA RFC Page for the most
recent version of the specification, as well as information for how
to participate in the review process.
The Simple Spectral Access interface (SSA) defines a uniform
interface to simple 1D spectra, with extensions planned also
for time series, and SEDs. It shares many similarities with the
Simple Image Access
(SIA) and Simple Cone Search (SCS) specifications.
