<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">

<br>
for validation of the async service, since SODA async is (as far as<br>
I know) defined on top of UWS, a UWS validator might do some of what<br>
you want. There's one developed by Kristin Riebe here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/kristinriebe/uws-validator">https://github.com/kristinriebe/uws-validator</a><br>
<br>
(as pointed to by the wiki page<br>
<a href="https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaValidatorsSummary">https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaValidatorsSummary</a>)<br>
<br>
However I don't have experience with either that validator or SODA,<br>
so this is no more than a tentative suggestion.<br>
