+The above configuaration assumes:
+
+* 'SKA' project holds FITS-files in sub-directories under: `/srv/ska/surveys`
+* will be accessed remotely by URL: http://<server>/ska/datasets/soda
+* identified by SODA-param ID which is **IVOID** of the form:
+`ID=ivo://<authority>/resource-key?<relative-pathname>#extnum`
+
+Note that the service apends **soda** to ACCESS_CONTEXT_ROOT.
+The pathname in the ID is relative to the path in compose.yaml volume-mapping (e.g. '/srv/ska/surveys').
+The FITS extension number `#extnum` is optional. Default is the primary HDU.
+
+Data access example:
+```bash
+curl -s -k --get
+    --data-urlencode "ID=ivo://some-auth/some-key?some/path/somefile.fits"
+    --data-urlencode "CIRCLE=202.256 47.493 0.2"
+    -v -o soda.fits
+    http://localhost:18019/ska/datasets/soda
 ```
 
+The URL root `http://localhost:18019/ska/datasets/soda` returns the service descriptor.
