This is...
...a search engine for services and other resources in the Virtual Observatory (VO). See WIRR's documentation for further information.
The result lists...
...come with links to "capabilities" which let you use the service. WEB capabilities are for your browser, whereas TAP (database tables), SCS (simple access to tables of astronomical catalogs), SIA (images of the sky), and SSA (spectra) usually need specialized clients, typically desktop programs.
To use protocol capabilities...
...you can paste the URLs under the capability anchors in the result lists to your favourite client. It's more convenient, though, to transmit them via SAMP. Use the connect button below the query results, and run a modern SAMP hub (TOPCAT's is fine). Note that, in TOPCAT, you need to have the Cone Search window open before you transmit SCS services, and likewise for the other services.
Without javascript...
...none of this will work. Sorry about this. However, it is sufficient to grant the originating page execute privileges for javascript, no third-party files are necessary for this page to work.
