Scientific paper

In an action lead by the ESA-VO project and VO-France, the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) is defining the access to spectral line databases, both theoretical and observational. Two standards are in development, the Simple Line Access Protocol (SLAP) and the Atomic and Molecular Spectral Line Data Model (AMSL).
The first one defines an uniform access to spectral line databases and, the second, a common universal language to interchange information. The SLAP and the already existing Simple Spectrum Access Protocol (SSAP), integrated in the same VO application, are a powerful combination for astronomical spectral studies.
Some very well known spectral line databases have already implemented SLAP services on their servers, e.g., the NIST Atomic Spectra Database (laboratory), LERMA (observational) or the IASD (Infrared Astronomical Spectral Database) (observational). Other projects, like ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array), are preparing their databases to be as close as possible to the Spectral Line Data Model and are planning to expose their data in SLAP format.
We summarize the content of both the SLAP and AMSL and how these SLAP services have been integrated in VOSpec, VO reference application for spectral access developed by the ESA-VO team.
