Hi Registry-enthusiasts,<br>
<br>
I would like to report on an inconsistency I found between resources
available in the EuroVO registry and in the VAO/STScI registry.<br>
<br>
I am performing daily a full harvesting (through OAI PMH) of the
registry in order to retrieve and filter out services of interest to
Aladin Desktop. I used to query the STScI registry for this task
until I found out some active resources were missing (for instance
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<tt style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant:
normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height:
normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">ivo://cfa.tdc/hectospec/hectospec_public.ssap.q/ssa</tt><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman';
font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal;
orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline
!important; float: none; background-color: rgb(250, 240, 230);"><span
class="Apple-converted-space"></span></span>). I then switched
to the EuroVO registry and just found out that some other resources,
for instance<tt> </tt>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<tt><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px; font-style:
normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline ! important;
float: none;">ivo://nasa.heasarc/skyview/skyview</span></tt>,
were also missing (but available in the STScI registry). <br>
<br>
The full list of missing resources for each registry is attached to
this message. From a quick look:<br>
<br>
- STScI registry is mostly missing 1300 VizieR resources<br>
<br>
- EuroVO registry is mostly missing HEASARC services. Menelaus
confirmed me that they had an issue with querying the HEASARC
registry.<br>
<br>
<br>
What should I do ? I am not really keen on querying the two
registries and merging the results, as I feel this should not be
done at my side. I would expect consistency between full registries,
at least for resources older than 1 week. Am I missing something ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
