Euro-VO Tutorials

Loose collection of technical tutorials. Note that specific walkthroughs are based on dynamic on-line resources which may change over time.

VOTable/Aladin In this tutorial you will manipulate VOTable files (usage of conVOT translator and/or SAVOT java library); use VOTable files in Aladin (loading - saving - processing); interface Aladin in your context (Web server and/or application).

SIAP/SSAP In this tutorial a basic SIAP and SSAP wrapping will be done on local files to adapt them to the VO infrastructure, and VO client utilities will be used to display the final information. The advanced will give a deeper knowledge on how to build a real SIAP and SSAP service for real archived data.

Metadata/UCD Tutorial The goal of this tutorial is to understand where UCDs can be used in the VO, how to manipulate them, attach metadata to tabular data, and build services to automate metadata management. Because UCD1+ are not yet widely used in the VO, we will have to play with both old-style UCD1 and the new recommended UCD1+: we will take this opportunity to show how to migrate to the newer version.
