SSAP clients for theoretical spectra

[Ulrike Stampa]

To all architects and developers of SSAP clients:

within the GAVO (German VO) project we implemented the simple spectra
access protocol for synthetic spectra. When I started testing our
service I noticed that most of the client tools do not support search
for theoretical spectra but only query by position and time. So my
question to the applications working group: Are there any plans or
on-going discussions about including theoretical spectra? Or any client
software I do not know yet? (The only one I know dealing with parameters
for theoretical spectra is VOSpec.)

Otherwise I suggest to take this aspect into account for further
development.

The base url of our SSAP service is:
http://vo.ari.uni-heidelberg.de/ssatr-0.01/ssatr?request=queryData&
To get an impression what parameters theoretical spectra would
typically  use, you can look at our browser based interface (or contact
me directly).

(This service is supposed to comply with SSAP version 1.02. If you find
anything non-conforming, please let me know. )

Best regards,
