Pydantic data models for IVOA protocols

vo-models

vo-models is an open-source project to provide Python models for IVOA service protocols.

The project is designed to be used by IVOA members, service implementors, and developers to help facilitate the development of IVOA-compliant services and clients.

Features

• Pydantic-xml Models: The project includes Python models for IVOA protocols, using pydantic-xml. Based on Pydantic, these models describe transactions for an IVOA protocol, such as UWS, and feature automatic validation, parsing and serialization of XML data for use with Python clients and web frameworks.

• Expandability: The project is designed with future expansion in mind. Plans include extending the schema and models to cover other IVOA standards and future versions of existing standards where possible.

Protocols

The following IVOA protocols are currently supported:

• UWS (Universal Worker Service) version 1.1
• VOSI (IVOA Support Interfaces) version 1.1
  • VOSI Availability
  • VOSI Tables
  • VOSI Capabilities
• VODataService version 1.2 (limited)
  • DataType
  • FKColumn
  • ForeignKey
  • Table
  • TableParam
  • TableSchema
  • TableSet
  • others
• VOResource version 1.1
• TAPRegExt version 1.0

You can read more about using these models in our documentation: https://vo-models.readthedocs.io/
