     1= Web Archives and Queries =
     2
     3The second aspect of this project will be constructing a web service that will be able to query and search the data set, and making this available through VO services. This will build on the work done by Albert Teoh in constructing the web archive, and extending this to provide VO Cone Search queries that return VOTables.

     5Some links:
     6 * Albert's web archive: http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au/
     7 * My working page that incorporates the limited S70 data (from `$S70TAPES` directory): http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au/test/whi550/
     8   * This just does cone-searching on the S70 data.
     9   * A temporary table is loaded each time a query is made -- this is just for testing purposes, but is enough to get the idea.
     10 * A cone-search web service that returns a VOTable is available at http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au/test/whi550/conequery-vo.php This accepts three parameters (as per the VO conesearch standard): RA, DEC, SR. It is available to test now: try something like http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au./test/whi550/conequery-vo.php?RA=0.&DEC=-49.&SR=1. and you should see the result in your web browser. To save to a file (which you could then load into a VOTable browser such as TOPCAT: http://www.starlink.ac.uk/topcat/), try
     11{{{
     12wget -O output_file http://pulsararchive-int.atnf.csiro.au./test/whi550/conequery-vo.php?RA=0.\&DEC=-49.\&SR=1.
