TDWG Access Protocol for Information Retrieval

Other names: TAPIR

The TDWG Access Protocol for Information Retrieval (TAPIR) is a Web Service protocol and XML schema to perform queries across distributed databases of varied physical and logical structure. It was originally designed to be used by federated networks. TAPIR is intended for communication between applications, using HTTP as the transport mechanism. TAPIR's flexibility makes it suitable to both very simple service implementations where the provider only responds to a set of pre-defined queries, or more advanced implementations where the provider software can dynamically parse complex queries referencing output models supplied by the client.
