UDF catalogue Proposed Endorsed Note: Request for Comments

This PEN proposes a mechanism for listing ADQL extension functions that are requried to work the same way across different data centers. It is a supplement to the ADQL standard, and currently there's text in ADQL 2.1 referencing it.

The latest version of the UDF catalogue can be found at: http://ivoa.net/documents/udf-catalogue/

Version control: https://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/dal/udf-catalogue

Reference Interoperable Implementations

As to the endorsed content, there should always be at least two services carrying the functions. Regrettably, the required RegTAP res_detail table doesn't carry UDF names (there's always a use case exactly for the most exotic feature you can think of), so to find these services, you'll have to rely on volutary extra keys parsed by the services.

The RegTAP service at http://dc.g-vo.org/tap parses the extra res_detail. Use a query like

select access_url
from rr.res_detail
natural join rr.interface
natural join rr.capability
where detail_xpath='/capability/language/languageFeatures/feature/form'
and detail_value like 'ivo_healpix_index%'
and standard_id='ivo://ivoa.net/std/tap'

Implementations Validators

Not really applicable here. It might be nice to have a few standard queries per function with the intended results, but since ADQL doesn't have queries without from clauses and there is essentially no content in the underlying databases you can rely on, they're really hard to write.

Perhaps a case for an ADQL extension: Facilitate writing tests?
