  1. eGY Virtual Observatory Working Group report 2007 www.egy.org Chair: Peter Fox (HAO/ESSL/NCAR), pfox@ucar.edu Co-chairs: Volodya Papitashvili (Michigan), papita@umich.edu D. Aaron Roberts (NASA/GSFC), aaron.roberts@nasa.gov With active participation from: Bernd Ritschel, Mauro Messerotti, Ken Murata

  2. Virtual Observatories • Conceptual examples: • In-situ: Virtual measurements • Related measurements • Remote sensing: Virtual, integrative measurements • Data integration • Brokers of data, and service providers.

  3. Deliverables - VO WG efforts • Networking, links to experts and peers • Coordination for the I*Y and other programs • A mandate via the eGY Declaration for a Geoscience Information Commons • Codes of best practice • Meetings, workshops, and symposia at conferences • Presentations, articles, brochure, press releases • Website: www.egy.org and eGY News • Education and public outreach program • Capacity building activities in developing countries (not yet implemented)

  4. Virtual Observatories are flourishing: • NVO facility via CA between NSF and NASA • NASA VxO program • CEDAR community • GEON transition to a facility? • VOs in Europe • Environmental Observatories • Sensor web • IVOA - solar system interest group proposed • Virtual Organizations and Virtual Observatories • Invitations are coming in every day!!

  5. 20 abstracts (largest ESSI session), 8 oral presentations, over 60 in attendance at talks. Poster session very well attended. Spring 06 AGU sessions on Data Integration Spring 06 APL workshop on Ontologies 25 attendees - background and detailed discussions on semantics, ontologies.
