| | 15 | == Registering a VO service == |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | Once we have a VO Cone Search service up and running, we will want to register it so that people can see it. |
| | 18 | This is a reasonably straight-forward procedure as it is basically providing a set of metadata about the service to a registry. Some registries can be found at: |
| | 19 | * NVO: see Section 3.1 on [http://www.us-vo.org/pubs/files/PublishHowTo.html] for links |
| | 20 | * Euro-VO : see [http://www.euro-vo.org/pub/tc/registries.html] for links |
| | 21 | It is unclear whether it is sufficient to register at just one registry, or whether they are still independent (the aim is for one registration to be sufficient, but are we at that point yet?). This needs to be followed up. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | The full list of metadata that can be provided to describe a service is detailed in the IVOA document on Resource Metadata: [http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/RM.html] Most of the registration pages are forms where specific fields are filled in, often depending on the type of service being registered. |
