---++ Collaborative Page for the TAP Interface 

The Table Access Protocol (TAP) is a second generation DAL interface being developed to provide a general access mechanism for tabular data, including but not limited to astronomical catalogs. TAP is part of the DAL family of data access interfaces.

Work on the TAP VOResource extension schema for registering TAP service is also summarized <a href="#Registering_TAP_Services">below</a>.

regarding VOSpace integration, multi-region queries, and other topics.

---+++ Registering TAP Services

A VOResource extension schema for registering TAP services is now in development.  The current spec only specifies the standardID to use in an otherwise generic =&lt;capability&gt;= element in the resource record; however, a specialized extension schema will allow for more specific descriptions of how a TAP instance supports the TAP standard; this includes flags that indicate support for [[ObsDMCoreComponents][ObsCore]].  Ideas for the needed metadata are being gathered in the [[TAPRegExt]] page.
