The Virtual Observatory: A general Overview

Over the past four years, a collaboration of data centers and universities in the United States has been working in conjunction with international partners worldwide to build the framework for the Virtual Observatory. This work is now coming to fruition with the release of science applications software and toolkits, and initial VO-enabled research results are appearing in the peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. I will describe the goals and capabilities of the VO, the core technologies, and how the VO fits into the larger context of international data access and future astronomical instrument development.
