IVOA Publishing Registry

An implementation of an IVOA registry.

It is possible to run the registry either as

• A simple publishing registry

• A full searchable harvesting registry with an optional RegTAP interface.

Resource records are held in the BaseX XML database and exposed through OAI-PMH. The registry can also harvest other registries, and optionally expose the content relationally through RegTAP.

Because the registry is implemented with a native XML database it is possible to use XQuery to query the resources
