regquery
: Registry Querier
regquery
submits a query to the Virtual Observatory
registry
and returns the result as a table containing all the records which
match the condition specified. The resulting table can be written out
in any of the supported formats or otherwise processed in the usual ways.
Currently the registry used by default is the SOAP service offered
by the US NVO registry at
http://voservices.net/registry/registry.asmx.
Because VO registries generally harvest from each other, the content of
this one can be expected to be similar to that stored in registries
maintained by other organisations.
