Date name/org/meeting 报告内容 虚拟天文台历史与现状 国际虚拟天文台联盟（IVOA） 中国虚拟天文台（China-VO） 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). VO concept (cont.) The VO is: A set of international standards to share complex data A modular set of tools to work with distributed data A simple environment to publish data to An essential part of the research astronomer’s toolkit A catalyst for world-wide access to astronomical archives A vehicle for education and public outreach The VO is not: A replacement for building new telescopes A centralized repository for data A data quality enforcement organization VO历史回顾 1990s:NASA成立了按波长划分的科学数据中心，多个地基数字巡天项目开始 1999年4月, 美国理论、计算和数据发现十年规划调研专家组成立 Szalay, Prince, Alcock 提出 “National Virtual Observatory”的概念 1999年11月, NVO 在JHU组织研讨会 2000年2月, 第二届 NVO 研讨会在NOAO召开 2000年6月, “Virtual Observatories of the Future”在Caltech召开，褚耀泉参加会议 2001年2月, “新千年的天文学与天体物理学”发表 2001年9月, 美国NSF 宣布对NVO项目的资助 2002年6月，国际虚拟天文台联盟成立 International VO Alliance International VO Alliance International VO Alliance International VO Alliance Working Groups Resource Registry, Content Descriptors (UCD), Data Modeling, Data Access Layer, VO Event, VO Query Language, Grid Web Services, Standards Processes, VOTable Interest Groups Architecture, Applications, Theory, GGF Astro-RG, Data Curation Preservation Specifications VOTable, Resource Metadata, ADQL, VOEvent, Space-Time Coordinate, SkyNodeInterface, SIA, SSA, etc. /Documents/latest/ IVOA Roadmap IVOA Events Second Science Paper from VO Accepted by AA Luminous AGB stars in nearby galaxies: A study using Vir
