---+ SLAP RFC Discussion

Review period: 2009 July 21 – 2009 August 18 

July 20, 2009 Page created to encapsulate the discussion of the Simple Line Access Protocol RFC process

---++ SLAP Use:
The purpose of the Simple Line Access Protocol is to allow the comsuption of Spectral Line List databases using a common/standard interface. The most basic query parameters will be the minimum and maximum value for the wavelength range. Additional parameters may be used to refine the search or to model physical scenarios.

      * Contact: Kevin Benson
      * Service Description: A database for astrophysical emission line spectroscopy 
      * Spectral Coverage: Multiple Coverage

---++ SLAP-like Implementations:
The following list corresponds to SLAP like implementations, not fully compliant due to different reasons:

   * *SLAP Name: STSCI SLAP*
      * Type: Observational
      * Publisher: STSCI
      * Contact: Randy Thompson
      * Service Description: SLAP prototype of HST lines using ssa data model
      * Spectral Coverage: NIR-Optical 
      * Not fully compliant reason: It makes use of Spectral Data Model utypes

   * *SLAP Name: ALMA internal SLAP*
      * Type: Observational
      * Publisher: ALMA Archive Group at The University of Manchester
      * Contact: Stewart Williams, Andrew Markwick-Kemper, Sandra Etoka & Gary Fuller
      * Service Description: Internal SLAP services to propagate line list within the project. IVOA spectral line list data model used in database schema
      * Spectral Coverage: Radio
      * Client: Splatalogue    
      * Not fully compliant reason: It contains unidentified lines

---++ TCG Review: Working and Interest Groups
Note that the space for RFC comments from the working groups was intended to spur early review of the document.  A formal approval is still requested from each of the WG and IG heads.  I [TAM] have noted cases where the RFC comments seemed to indicate an approval in the RFC period but the appropriate chairs should review this final draft.
