要旨:
We describe the work of the German Astrophysical Virtual
Observatory (GAVO). GAVO is the German node in the
world-wide international virtual observatory (VObs) effort
aimed at making geographically distributed astrophysical
data and applications more readily available to the community
and to find ways of combining these in an interoperable
network so as to create new ways of doing science. In
this presentation we give a short overview of the ideas behind
the virtual observatory and describe the efforts of the
International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). We describe
then in detail the activities of GAVO, both in its first
pilot phase and in the recently initiated second phase. Here
we will pay particular attention to the effort spearheaded by
GAVO to include results of large scale computer simulations
in the VObs efforts, both national and international.
