Capability¶
- class pyvo.io.vosi.voresource.Capability(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
- Bases: - ElementWithXSIType- Capability element as described in http://www.ivoa.net/xml/VOResource/v1.0 - a description of what the service does (in terms of context-specific behavior), and how to use it (in terms of an interface) - Attributes Summary - A human-readable description of what this capability provides as part of the over-all service - a description of how to call the service to access this capability - A URI identifier for a standard service. - A numeric grade describing the quality of the capability description and interface, when applicable, to be used to indicate the confidence an end-user can put in the resource as part of a VO application or research study. - Methods Summary - describe()- Prints out a human readable description - Attributes Documentation - description¶
- A human-readable description of what this capability provides as part of the over-all service - Use of this optional element is especially encouraged when this capability is non-standard and is one of several capabilities listed. 
 - interfaces¶
- a description of how to call the service to access this capability - Since the Interface type is abstract, one must describe the interface using a subclass of Interface, denoting it via xsi:type. - Multiple occurances can describe different interfaces to the logically same capability–i.e. data or functionality. That is, the inputs accepted and the output provides should be logically the same. For example, a WebBrowser interface given in addition to a WebService interface would simply provide an interactive, human-targeted interface to the underlying WebService interface. 
 - standardid¶
- A URI identifier for a standard service. - This provides a unique way to refer to a service specification standard, such as a Simple Image Access service. The use of an IVOA identifier here implies that a VOResource description of the standard is registered and accessible. 
 - validationlevels¶
- A numeric grade describing the quality of the capability description and interface, when applicable, to be used to indicate the confidence an end-user can put in the resource as part of a VO application or research study.
