Description
NED's implementation of the VO Table Access Protocol, or TAP.
TAP is an Application Program Interface (API) supporting
Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL) queries.
Currently, the service allows users to query the NED Object Directory ("ned_objdir")
from computer programs and scripts without the need to go through a browser.
The results are including main information from NED about the objects:
Preferred name for the object, Position, Redshift, Type of the Object, and numbers
of main results for the object.
