Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL) 02 May 2016 v2.1 http://www.ivoa.net/documents/ADQL The data of ESA Heliophysics science missions are preserved at the ESAC Science Data Centre (ESDC). The ESDC aims for the long term preservation of those data, which includes missions such as Ulysses, Soho, Proba-2, Cluster, Double Star, and in the future, Solar Orbiter. Scientists have access to these data through web services, command line and graphical user interfaces for each of the corresponding science mission archives. In a global and interconnected world, there is a greater need to provide interoperability within software and applications that are widely used. The Virtual Observatory (VO) is the vision that astronomical datasets and other resources should work as a seamless whole. Through the adoption of IVOA standards the ESA Heliophysics archives attempts to fulfil this vision by sharing their data with those tools and services that are VO-compatible.

Some of the existing ESA Heliophysics archives are able to share their data with the following tools and services that are VO-compatible and SAMP enabled through the exchange of messages using the VOTable format. For re-engineered or new archives, the implementation of services through Table Access Protocol (TAP) or Universal Worker Service (UWS) will further leverage this interoperability allowing synchronous and asynchronous queries to the archives via HTTP/REST based interfaces and Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL) Standards & Interoperability with other tools Aladin Autoplot JHelioviewer Topcat Database Archive core systems TAP+ADQL Query language UWS (job scheduler) SAMP VOTable XML/JSON HTTP Public area Restricted area User Space Sharing Solar Orbiter data with Autoplot via SAMP VOTable XML or JSON results from ADQL queries VEGA VO protocols VO Apps Proba-2 Second of ESA's PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy satellites
