Yes.
There are in fact two means:
1. see section Quick Start Guide d) "Adding Data Source"
http://archive.eso.org/cms/virgo/
...with the given limitations which will be remedied asap
2. see installation section for configuring DataResources.ini
ST-ECF has already done so for HLA spectra and produced a very nice tutorial: http://www.stecf.org/archive/hla/stepbystep.php
A subtlety for SSA service providers:
It works both for SSA pre v1.0 as well as v1.0 provided "&REQUEST=queryData" is
added explicity to the service end point.
