---++TSAP (SSAP theory use case)

The first attempt (as an ESAVO-SVO collaboration) to define such a protocol was TSAP (Theoretical Spectral Access Protocol), designed to access theoretical spectra. Now TSAP is part of the SSAP protocol as a Use Case.

---+++General information about TSAP

   * [[http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/SSA.html][SSAP protocol]]
   * [[http://svo.laeff.inta.es/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWikiP&file=index&pagename=TSAP][TSAP: how to use it]] (SVO web page)
   * [[http://svo.laeff.inta.es/theory/tsap][TSAP interface]] (an interface to check a TSAP service, check if it works as expected or retrieve data from it)

---+++Model services using TSAP
   * [[http://svo.laeff.inta.es/theory/db2vo/index.php][Web access to SVO theoretical spectra model services]]
   * TSAP metadata interface to the models: (links point to the first TSAP dialog step: the format=metadata one. Subsequent queries can be made using this information)

---+++Applications using TSAP
   * [[http://esavo.esa.int/vospec/][VOSpec]] 
      * An ESA-VO tool able to handle Spectra in the VO context as well as providing analysis capabilities and easy integration of spectra coming from different data providers, wavelengths, and different metadata
      * accesses theoretical spectra in the VO allowing to compare them with observed data.
   * [[http://sdc.laeff.inta.es/vosed/index.jsp][VOSed]] 
      * An SVO tool that permits to characterize the protoplanetary disks around young stars taking advantage of the already existing VO standards and tools.
      * uses TSAP to access Dalessio models to fit observed data.
   * [[http://svo.laeff.inta.es/theory/vosa/][VOSA]] 
      * a web application developed using VO resources to fit observational data with theoretical models to infer physical properties for the observed objects. 
      * uses TSAP to access several theoretical spectra collections and synthetic photometry corresponding to those spectra and find the best fit for observed photometry.
