---++ Available Service Validaters

Validater Services (a service that can check another service) intended for broad use should be registered in an IVOA registry (try search with keyword "validater").  Known validaters at the time of this writing include:

   * [[http://nvo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/dalvalidate/csvalidate.html Simple Cone Search Validater]]
   * [[http://nvo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/dalvalidate/siavalidate.html Simple Image Access Validater]]
   * [[http://rofr.ivoa.net/regvalidate/regvalidate.html Registry Harvesting Interface Validater]] at the [[http://rofr.ivoa.net/ Registry of Registries]]
