SIA

SIA service validators check that a service accepts standard inputs and provides appropriate error responses in at least some situations. Most validators check only the initial VOTable response by the service.

Validators:

• HEASARC
  • For 1.0 uses NCSA developed library for checking results. In addition to checking initial VOTable responses, checks that first data link is valid and of appropriate type. SIA 2.0 uses VO-Paris validator but stores results at the HEASARC. Users can check individual services or see results of monthly validation.
