Abstract: For several years, the Besançon Observatory has been developing scientific facilities that are, or will be in the near future, accessible on-line through the World-Wide Web, namely the Besançon model of stellar population synthesis of the Galaxy, and three databases: the BDB Double and Multiple Star database, the BASECOL Molecular Collisional Excitation database and a database of discovery and recovery observations of TNOs. We summarize here the scientific objectives of these facilities and the characteristics of the information exchange protocols implemented so far. Next we describe how we envisage turning these facilities into the Virtual Observatory grid and what are the expectations and needs of VO standards given the specificities of these facilities.
