| Abstract: |
Virtual Observatories (VOs) are emerging research environment for astronomy, and 16 countries and regions have been funded to develop their VOs based on international standard protocols for interoperability. National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) started its VO project (Japanese Virtual Observatory – JVO) in 2002, and developed its prototypes. We have succeeded to interoperate the latest JVO prototype system with VOs in the USA and Europe since December 2004. Some observed data by the Subaru telescope, ASCA satellite operated by the JAXA/ISAS, etc. are connected to the prototype. Successful interoperation of the JVO prototype with other VOs means that astronomers in the world will be able to utilize top-level data obtained by these telescopes from anywhere in the world at anytime.
System design of the JVO system, experiences during our development including problems of current standard protocols defined in the IVOA, and proposals to resolve these problems in the near future are described in this paper. |
