This Simple Cone Search (SCS) defines a simple query protocol for retrieving records from a catalog of astronomical sources. The query describes sky position and an angular distance, defining a cone on the sky. The response returns a list of astronomical sources from the catalog whose positions lie within the cone, formatted as a VOTable.

---++ Current Recommendation

Current IVOA Recommendation is [[http://www.ivoa.net/documents/cover/ConeSearch-20080222.html][SCS-1.03 (20080222)]].

Its RFC page can be found [[ConeSearchV10RFC][here]] and the sequence of PR leading to SCS-1.03 can be found in the [[http://www.ivoa.net/documents][IVOA Document Repository]].

Errata for this specification can be found [[SCS-1_03-Errata][here]].

---++ Current Activities

A revision of the Simple Cone Search is in progress. 

The [[%ATTACHURL%/WD-SCS-1.1-20171009.pdf][latest DAL internal Working Draft for SCS-1.1]] is attached to this page (dated 2017-10-09). Have a look at the changelog for an idea of the changes.

The drafting process can be followed on the [[http://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/dal/SCS/][volute SVN repo]] and discussion will happen on the DAL mailing list and possibly summarised on the [[SCS-1_03-Next]] TWiki topic.
