+
+
+  type: ''menu''[[BR]]
+  FITS keyword: ''OBSERVTY''
+
+  An identifier of the observatory, space platform, or network of
+observatories (or spacecraft) from which the data originate.  In the
+case of networks such as GONG or CLUSTER, the particular observatory
+site or spacecraft may be identified by Instrument if each member is
+single-instrument.  In the case of multi-instrument multi-site networks,
+another Data Source search parameter (Site or Instance or Platform or
+Network) may be required.  Note that network is used in the sense of
+functionally identical instruments deployed in different locations,
+and not coordinated data collections from distinct instruments, such
+as the H-alpha Network; that is considered a Provider.
+The recognized values are those in the data registry, and the list is
+subject to modification whenever the data registry is modified.
+
+  * '''BBSO''' : Big Bear Solar Observatory
+  * '''Evans''' Solar Telescope, Sacramento Peak
+  * '''GONG''' : Global Oscillations Network Group
+  * '''JSPO''' : Jeffreys South Pole Observatory
+  * '''KANZ''' : Kanzelhöhe Solar Observatory
+  * '''KPVT''' : Kitt Peak Vacuum Tower Telescope
+  * '''McMath''' Solar Telescope, Kitt Peak
+  * '''MEDN''' : Observatoire de Paris, Meudon
+  * '''MLSO''' : Mauna Loa Solar Observatory
+  * '''MtWilson''' : Mt. Wilson 60ft Tower Telescope
+  * '''Nançay''' Radio Observatory
+  * '''OACT''' : Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania
+  * '''PicMidi''' : Observatoire du Pic du Midi
+  * '''SOHO''' : Solar and Heliospheric Observatory
+  * '''SOLIS''' : Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun
+  * '''OBSPM''' : Observatoire de Paris, Meudon
+  * '''OVRO''' : Owens Valley Radio Observatory
+  * '''TON''' : Taiwan Oscillations Network
+  * '''YNAO''' : Yunnan Astronomical Observatory
+  * '''Yohkoh'''

+
+==== Instrument ====
+
+
+  type: ''menu''[[BR]]
+  FITS keyword: ''INSTRUMT''
+
+  For multi-instrument space observatories, an identifier of the
+particular instrument from which the data originate.  For observatories,
+the Instrument may refer to a particular telescope or to one of multiple
+standard configurations of telescope plus detectors.
+For the list of instruments registered, consult the
+'''[http://vso1.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/show_details?keyword=INSTRUMENT Registry]'''..
+
+
+==== Provider ====
+
+
+  type: ''menu''
+
+  The identifier of the data archive providing search and retrieval
+functions for the data in question.  The same data may of course be
+mirrored at two or more archives.  Since the provider id is at least
+implicit in a data registry, this just means that the same data set
+would appear in multiple registries.  Some data providers may be
+''virtual,'' that is the query (but not the archive and distribution)
+services may be handled by other servers with access to their database
+information as proxies.
+
+  Recognized values at time of writing:
+
+
+  * '''HANET''' : H-alpha Network, Big Bear Lake
+  * '''HAO''' :High-Altitude Observatory, Boulder
+  * '''MSU''' : Montana State University, Bozeman
+  * '''NSO''' : National Solar Observatory, Tucson
+  * '''OBSPM''' : Observatoire de Paris, Meudon
+  * '''OVRO''' : Owens Valley Radio Observatory
+  * '''SDAC''' : Solar Data Analysis Center, Greenbelt
+  * '''SHA''' : Stanford Helioseismology Archive
