VO: what, why and how? VO Services: examples Astro-Wise data in VO VO data: how to use next steps What will we see?
Virtual Observatory VO is one • standards • education • implementation
Why VO? multiband combined surveys (almost) no cast problem
Simplicity of VO • parametrized request to the data • XML for data exchange • XML for data description • wrapped data (images) • simple range request • required parameters for request • required parameters for result
Publishing in VO • put data in a place available for an external user • provide a standard VO service (ConeSearch-STA, SIA, SSA) • register data registry data storage (RDBMS) ODBC http server VO standards end-user interface
VOTable • the general container for the data • XML based • multiple data blocks • flexibility: tables, images, archives

Astro-Wise problems: Data interfaces to VO access to AW database fast changes in the data security RDBMS Objects XML DBA, AW user AW user VO user
Astro-Wise problems: Access uniform identifier access by project, instrument as less changes in AW concept as possible VO layer on top of AW more functionality
Registry local publishing registry relational database-like structure python compact: 50 records AW class
