Database that resolves how to access records in problematic datasets. There are several distinct types of table: 1) Planetary observations stored in NASA's PDS and ESA's PSA; 2) Small FOV, pointed solar instruments; 3) Observations in the Global H-alpha Network.
This table contains the metadata for the plates that went into USNO-B
1.0 as best as we can reconstruct it (i.e., largely those that also
make up the Digital Sky Survey DSS). Most of the source files were
obtained from http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/, some additional
contributions came from Dave Monet.
A validator for IVOA identifiers, checking
conformity to version 2 of the specification.
The service returns results in a tabular format, where an identifier is
valid if no row with msg_type="ERROR" is present.
As per DALI, the format of the table returned can be controlled
through the RESPONSEFORMAT parameter; for machine consumption, the
most useful values for that parameter are probably json and votable.
The code used here is available at

The VESPA PA team server's TAP end point. The Table Access
Protocol (TAP) lets you execute queries against our database tables,
inspect various metadata, and upload your own data. It is thus the
VO's premier way to access public data holdings.
Tables exposed through this endpoint include: epn_core from the gem_mars schema, epn_core from the nomad schema, epn_core from the soir schema, columns, groups, key_columns, keys, schemas, tables from the tap_schema schema.
