Data access documentation section #1187

Description

@nevencaplar

The documentation at docs.lsdb.io does not have any information about how to access HATS data, what are the different providers or any other information about catalogs.

I suggest a new subsection, to be positioned below Tutorials and above API reference. The section should contain separate pages that should broadly describe:

  • how is data served from UW (why is speed what it is, you need to download everything before filtering)
  • how is data served from AWS resources
  • how is data served from Vizier (how is it different from http access above)
  • link and explanation from Brazilian service
  • link and explanation for CDS catalogs (link to their main page)
  • basic details about HATS catalogs, oriented to help users improve performance
  • description of different versions of catalogs, collections and nested datasets
  • link and explanation of tap.lsdb.io service
  • link and explanation of server.lsdb.io service

This ticket is to organize a broad outline. Ok to leave many work in progress sections. More detailed pages will be the subject of more focused tickets.
