"""
a module for basic VO Registry interactions.

A VO registry is a database of VO resources--data collections and
services--that are available for VO applications.  Typically, it is
aware of the resources from all over the world.  A registry can find
relevent data collections and services through search
queries--typically, subject-based.  The registry responds with a list
of records describing matching resources.  With a record in hand, the
application can use the information in the record to access the
resource directly.  Most often, the resource is a data service that
can be queried for individual datasets of interest.

This module provides basic, low-level access to the RegTAP Registries using
standardized TAP-based services.
