| Abstract: |
The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) develops the technical standards needed for seamless discovery of and access to astronomical data worldwide, with the goal of realizing the Virtual Observatory (VO). Founded in 2002, the IVOA was an early advocate of what are now known as Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles. There are 22 member organizations, and astronomical communities from other nations have shown interest in joining the IVOA. This paper describes the activities of the IVOA in 2021; summarizes the activities at the May and November 2021 virtual "interoperability meetings"; describes the impact of IVOA activities on the astronomy community; and discusses its prospects for 2022 and beyond. |
