Virtual Observatory: Bridging Russian Astronomical Community

The Russian Virtual Observatory (RVO) initiative aims to provide convenient access to the world data grid, integrate Russian and FSU data into the International Virtual Observatory, and enhance public applications of astronomical data through software development. The RVO offers a range of services such as data archives, browsing and visualization tools, and machine-readable catalogues for various astronomical parameters. Discover more about the RVO's goals and services in this comprehensive overview.

  43. Conclusions The information hub of the RVO will be made available via Internet for the scientific community and for the public. In addition, the scientific, methodological and technical aspects and results of the project will be presented to the community. It is likely that RVO will be merged naturally into the IVO. Particularly, it means that the RVO and its datasets will require collaboration with other institutions facing similar challenges. Malkov et al. (CAD) Jun 10, 2002
