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