stands for Data Access Layer.<br>
<br>
This Working Group aims to define standards and protocols
to access data<br>
in an interoperable way.<br>
<br>
Here are few examples of well-known DAL standards:
(Simple) Cone Search,<br>
SIA (image access), SSA (spectra access), TAP (Table
Access Protocol) and<br>
ADQL (SQL-like language to query a database).<br>
<br>
The full list of DAL standards is available on the </span><span
