The AVO Science Reference Mission

What is the Science Reference Mission (SRM)? The SRM is a definition of the key scientific results that the full-fledged, Phase B, EuroVO should be able to achieve when fully implemented. It will consist of a number of science cases, with related requirements, against which the success of the EuroVO will be measured.
