NVO Core Applications
NVO's objective is to enable new science by greatly enhancing access to data and computing resources. In conjunction with the January 2005 meeting of the American Astronomical Society, NVO is releasing a first set of software tools and applications that make it easy to locate, retrieve, and analyze data from archives and catalogs worldwide.

The NVO web site is a community-maintained collection with content control by the NVO Executive Committee. Content is judged by the extent to which it: (a) reflects an aspect of the Virtual Observatory, such as astronomy with federated data, (b) uses VO standards or software, or (c) exemplifies grid-based astronomical computing. If you would like a description of your project, data, or software included here, please write to web at us-vo.org with a short description of your work.
