16. VO-LAMOST LAMOST will select observing objects from VO Multi waveband sky survey archives, i.e. FIRST, NVSS, 2MASS, IRSA, SDSS, POSS… LAMOST will enhance astronomical spectrum resources greatly with its output LAMOST vs. SDSS = 4000 : 600 VO provides opportunities and challenges to LAMOST

17. VO-LAMOST Just from the beginning: VO-oriented LAMOST metadata model VO-oriented LAMOST data model VO-oriented Atomic services and toolkits Preserve metadata as much as possible

18. Roadmap for China-VO 2002.7 ： Draft of China-VO Architecture. 2002.10 ： Online access for most collected archives; Join in IVOA. 2003.1 ： System requirement analyse and scientific goals definition; Architecture design; Initial web services design. 2003.5 ： Initial online access to China-VO 2003.8 ： Initial China-VO functional demo 2003.10 ： VO-oriented LAMOST Data Model (LmstD) 1.0 2004.1 ： China-VO 1.0 2004.10 ： LmstD 2.0 2005.1 ： China-VO 2.0

19. Now, We urgent need: Experts in data-based computing Astronomy Attendees with skills of: XML, OGSA, Java, Database Cooperation National and International Money
