19
F. Genova, VO as a Data Grid, 2003/06/3019 Lessons learnt De facto standard SIMBAD/NED, ADS, journals, archives Cooperation between all the actors + snowball effect Journals, ADS, data centres, archive centres The community is trained (everyday tools) Easy-to-build link but contents / validation are fundamental the role of experts remains fundamental for building value-added services
