虚拟天文台 Virtual Sky VIRTUAL COMMUNITY Virtual Telescope Virtual Instrucments&Tools Virtual Observatory China-VO 2006, Guilin
VO concept • 虚拟天文台是一个通过先进的信息技术把世界范围内的研究资源无缝透明联结起来组成的数据密集型网络化天文研究和科普教育环境,是e-Science时代天文学研究信息化的重要特征。 • 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). China-VO 2006, Guilin
