4. Nov. 22-25CAS 2007, GuangZhou What is VO

5. Nov. 22-25CAS 2007, GuangZhou VO concept Virtual Observatory (VO) is a data-intensively online astronomical research and education environment, taking advantages of advanced information technologies to achieve seamless, global access to astronomical information. The power of the World Wide Web is its transparency. It is as if all the documents in the world are inside your PC. The idea of the Virtual Observatory is to achieve the same transparency for astronomical data and other related information (Quinn et al. 2004).

6. Nov. 22-25CAS 2007, GuangZhou IVOA in Growth International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) formed in June 2002 with a mission to facilitate the international coordination and collaboration necessary for the development and deployment of the tools, systems and organizational structures necessary to enable the international utilization of astronomical archives as an integrated and interoperating virtual observatory.

13. Nov. 22-25CAS 2007, GuangZhou China-VO Chinese Virtual Observatory (China-VO) is the national VO project in China initiated in 2002 by Chinese astronomical community led by National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The China-VO aims to provide VO infrastructure for Chinese astronomers and to share astronomical resources in China to the world. It focuses its research and development on VO science and applications.
