5. Virtual Observatory The modern observational facilities produse enormous volume of data (10 Tb/year/telescope and will be doubled each year). The higher data quality permits their re-utilisation. Multiplication of the scientific incom of large facilities. Creation of the necessary infrastructures. Inter-operability of databases and archives Construction of virtual instruments, and … … much more …

6. Virtual Observatory ->WFPDB WFPDB is well defined in the context of the Virtual Observatory The points WFPDB meet as a VO service are: –WFPDB – plate sample selection on a physical constrains basis (26 plate parameteres, 50% from 2 millions samples) –On-line processing of the information (development of the virtual instrument concept ) –VOTable output (Dec 2002), input/output VOTable operability (April 2003/05): WFP Standarts –WFPDB understends Astronomical Server URL (ASU)
