The zCOSMOS redshift survey used 600h on the VIMOS spectrograph spread over
five observing seasons (2005-2009) to obtain spectra of about 20,000 galaxies
selected to have Iab &lt; 22.5 across the full 1.7 deg2 of the COSMOS field.
This part, "zCOSMOS-bright", was designed to yield a high and fairly uniform
sampling rate (about 70%), with a high success rate in measuring redshifts
(approaching 100% at 0.5 &lt; z &lt; 0.8), and with sufficient
velocity accuracy
(about 100 km/s) to efficiently map the environments of galaxies down to the
scale of galaxy groups out to redshifts z ~ 1.</description><source format="bibcode">2008Msngr.134...35L</source><referenceURL>http://dc.g-vo.org/zcosmos/q/web/info</referenceURL><type>Survey</type><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://org.gavo.dc/__system__/obscore/obscore">GAVO Data Center Obscore</relatedResource></relationship></content><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/SODA#sync-1.0"><interface role="std" xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">http://dc.g-vo.org/zcosmos/q/sdl/dlget</accessURL><mirrorURL>https://dc.g-vo.org/zcosmos/q/sdl/dlget</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/DataLink#links-1.1"><interface role="std" xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">http://dc.g-vo.org/zcosmos/q/sdl/dlmeta</accessURL><mirrorURL>https://dc.g-vo.org/zcosmos/q/sdl/dlmeta</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>application/x-votable+xml;content=datalink</resultType><param std="true"><name>ID</name><description>The publisher DID of the dataset of interest</description><ucd>meta.id;meta.main</ucd><dataType arraysize="*" xsi:type="vs:SimpleDataType">char</dataType></param><param std="true"><name>responseformat</name><description>File format requested for output.</description><ucd>meta.code.mime</ucd><dataType arraysize="*" xsi:type="vs:SimpleDataType">char</dataType></param><param std="true"><name>maxrec</name><description>Maximum number of records returned.
