Validation Tests: Simple Cone Search
Requirements
These tests are drawn from "MUST" statements in the
SIA standard
4.2.1a The VOTable query response must contain exactly one
RESOURCE
element with the attribute
type="results"
.
- this element will be referred to as the Results Resource
- the VOTable may contain other
RESOURCE
elements as long type
is not set to "results"
.
4.2.1b The Results Resource must contain exactly one
TABLE
element.
Warnings
These tests are drawn from strongly encouraged "SHOULD" statements in the
SIA standard
and other recommendations from the IVOA. Compliance with these recommendations, while not required, are expected to significantly improve interoperability.
4.2.1c The Results Resource should be the first
RESOURCE
element in the VOTable.
- this supports simple SIA consumers that (incorrectly) assume that the VOTable only contains one
RESOURCE
- this makes visual inspection easier while debugging.
4.2.2a The Results Resource containing successful search results should include one
INFO
element with the attribute
name="QUERY_STATUS"
.
Recommendations
These tests are drawn from other "SHOULD" statements in the
SIA standard
and other recommendations from the IVOA.
