taplint TAP validator within stilts does non-exhaustive validation of the UWS v1.0 functionality of a TAP service: job submission, lifecycle tracking, deletion, job document parsing etc. See UWS Stage.

Comments from MarkTaylor

(Still) a good clearly written document. One or two minor comments/suggestions:

Notation: I don't understand the usage of curly and round brackets in referencing URL path elements. For instance in sec 2.1.11 I see: "/{jobs}/{job-id}/parameters/(parameter-name)", and in sec 2.2: "/(jobs)/(jobid)", and in sec 2.2.1.1: "/{jobs}/(job-id)". Are () and {} doing different, ahem, jobs here? If not, can you just pick one or the other?
Sec 1.3: "an XML document (e.g. ADQL, CEA [harrison05])" - is it anachronistic to refer to ADQL in this context since post-ADQL-2.0 there is no ADQL/X representation?
Sec 2.1: A count indicator ("1") is missing from the Job-Owner link in the UML diagram
Sec 2.1.3: The phases "HELD", "SUSPENDED" and "ARCHIVED" do not appear in the diagram.
Sec 2.2: "future versions of this document will add other bindings such as SOAP." Really?
Sec 2.2: "an non-existant job id" -> "a non-existent job-id"
Sec 2.2.1.1: "it should not return a response (i.e. block)" is a bit ambiguous. Prefer "it should not return a response (i.e. it should block)"?
Sec 2.2.1.1: "/{jobs}/(job-id)?WAIT&PHASE=QUEUED": I think it has to be "WAIT=<value>" not just "WAIT"?
Sec 4.2: "ADQL [1] can serve as a JDL." - bibliography referencing is wrong.
Sec 4.3: "Call it CEA v2 to distinguish it from CEA v1 as currently maintained by AstroGrid." - it's a bit anachronistic.
Sec 4.3: "The JDL in CEA v2 is similar to that in CEA v1 It is a formal ..." - missing full stop
Sec 4.3: "the emerging XForms technology" - is it still emerging?
