VO-Science

• Key issue for the Spanish VO.

• Goal: Liaison between SVO and research groups who have

identified scientific drivers to motivate the adoption of a Virtual

Observatory methodology in their science cases.

• SVO role:

• Evaluation of the science case from the VO point of view.

• Provision of information about the existing VO tools.

• If needed, develop new tools.
