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.
