The PVOL EPN-TAP'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: columns, groups, key_columns, keys, schemas, tables from the tap_schema schema, emptyobscore, obscore from the ivoa schema, epn_core from the pvol schema.
To locate columns "by physics", as it were, use UCD in
↗tap_schema.columns. For instance,
to find everything talking about the mid-infrared about 10µm, you
could write:
SELECT * FROM tap_schema.columns
WHERE description LIKE '%em.IR.8-15um%'
