Values

  • archival - The entire archival or project dataset is returned. Transformations such as metadata or data model mediation or format conversions may take place, but the content of the dataset is not substantially modified (e.g., all the data is returned and the sample values are not modified).

  • cutout - The dataset is subsetted in some region of parameter space to produce a subset dataset. Sample values are not modified, e.g., cutouts could be recombined to reconstitute the original dataset.

  • filtered - The data is filtered in some fashion to exclude portions of the dataset, e.g., passing only data in selected regions along a measurement axis, or processing the data in a way which recomputes the sample values, e.g., due to interpolation or flux transformation. Filtering is often combined with other forms of processing, e.g., projection.

  • mosaic - Data from multiple non- or partially-overlapping datasets are combined to produce a new dataset.

  • projection - Data is geometrically warped or dimensionally reduced by projecting through a multidimensional dataset.

  • spectralExtraction - Extraction of a spectrum from another dataset, e.g., extraction of a spectrum from a spectral data cube through a simulated aperture.

  • catalogExtraction - Extraction of a catalog of some form from another dataset, e.g., extraction of a source catalog from an image, or extraction of a line list catalog from a spectrum (not valid for a SSA service).
