Collaborative Page for the TAP Interface
The Table Access Protocol (TAP) is a second generation DAL interface
being developed to provide a general access mechanism for tabular
data, including but not limited to astronomical catalogs. TAP is
a component of a more general table-oriented query architecture,
which also includes a higher level distributed query / cross-match
portal, and an Astronomical Data Query Language (
ADQL) query language
specification (
ADQL is the responsibility of the VOQL working group).
TAP is also part of the DAL family of data access interfaces.
