Mark Taylor
TL;DR
Taplint is a tool designed to evaluate the compliance of TAP services with formal specifications, enhancing the robustness and reliability of Virtual Observatory data services.
Contribution
The paper introduces taplint, a new validation tool that systematically checks TAP services against protocol standards to improve service quality.
Findings
taplint effectively identifies non-compliance issues
Improves robustness of Virtual Observatory data services
Facilitates standard adherence in TAP deployments
Abstract
TAP, the Table Access Protocol, is a widely used Virtual Observatory specification allowing client software to interact with remote database services in a standardised way. This paper presents taplint, a tool for assessing the compliance of deployed TAP services with the the dozen or so formal specifications that form the TAP protocol stack. We provide an overview of its capabilities and operation, and the context within which it is used to improve robustness of data services.
