DAS Registry: Publishing and Discovery of DAS Servers

The DAS/1 and DAS/2 specifications do not define how to publish or discover DAS data sources (servers). Due to the success of DAS/1 and the large number of sources that are spread around the world it is not easy to keep track of these. The DAS registration server at www.dasregistry.org provides a repository where people can publish and share their DAS sources with the community.

The DAS registry provdies a Web interface so users can search for available DAS/1 or DAS/2 data sources. For DAS-clients an XML interface is available that allows to obtain the listing programmatically.

For more info on this please see the documentation.
