Outlining EURO-VO

The European Virtual Observatory (EURO-VO) project is an integrated and coordinated program of work designed to provide the European astronomical community with the data access, research tools and systems, research support, data interoperability standards, data-flow practices and data centre coordination, necessary to enable the exploration of the digital, multi-wavelength universe resident in European and international astronomical and astrophysical data archives. The project is based on the research, development experience and prototypes produced in the FP5 RTD project entitled Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (AVO) [HPRI-CT-2001-50] and the science case experience of the Enhancing Access to Large Facilities initiative ASTROVIRTEL [HPRI-CT- 1999-00081].
