The working group has a history of over two decades of progress.
Abstract
The IVOA Data Access Layer (DAL) working group was created in 2002 to define protocols to homogenize data discovery, data description, data retrieval, and data access processes. We describe its history and status today, and look at current trends for future development of the DAL protocols.
