---++ !RegTAP 1.2 Proposed Recommendation: Request for Comments

!RegTAP, formally known as the IVOA Registry Relational Schema, is the
standard way for clients to query the VO Registry.  Version 1.2 adds
tables to give the coverage in space, time, and spectrum and a tap_table
view intended to replace !GloTS.  To make use of these features, we
require a few optional ADQL features and the extra UDF
ivo_interval_overlaps.

Latest version of !RegTAP can be found at:
   * https://ivoa.net/documents/RegTAP/20240124/
   * Bleeding edge versions during RFC can be built from the sources, which are kept [[https://github.com/ivoa-std/RegTAP][on github]]. Feel free to open bugs or pull requests there at any time.

!RegTAP is a fairly long standard.  For review, it is probably advisable
to only skim the unchanged text.  For the purposes of this RFC, it is
probably sufficient to closely inspect sects. 4.5, 7, 8.15 through 8.18,
9, and 10 (in particular 10.13).  See also appendix E.

---+++ Reference Interoperable Implementations

Server-side implementations exist in the TAP services at
http://reg.g-vo.org/tap and https://registry.euro-vo.org/regtap/tap.

Client-side code exploiting the new spatial tables is present in pyVO;
[[http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/wirr/q/ui/fixed][WIRR]] also has
constraints on coverage in space, time, and spectrum.

Support for tap_tables is less common; however, once the data providers
fix their metadata records, the content of tap_tables essentially is
equivalent to what we already have in !GloTS, and hence the editor would
argue that all clients using !GloTS (e.g., TOPCAT) count as reference
implementations of tap_tables.

---+++ Implementations Validators

A validator is part of the source distribution at
https://github.com/ivoa-std/RegTAP.  See the validator subdirectory.
Note that it requires a registry seeded with the data provided, and
hence the suite can only be used by the service operators.
