This specification defines a simple query protocol for
retrieving records from a catalog of astronomical sources. The
query describes sky position and an angular distance, defining
a cone on the sky. The response returns a list of astronomical
sources from the catalog whose positions lie within the cone,
formatted as a VOTable. This version of the specification is
essentially a transcription of the original Cone Search
specification in order to move it into the IVOA
standardization process. Note that
the metadata used to describe a Cone Search service in the registry
is defined in the SimpleDALRegExt standard
(ivo://www.ivoa.net/std/SimpleDALRegExt;
http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/SimpleDALRegExt/).
