Virtual Observatories (VO) are being created to deal with enormous amounts of data which are becoming available in various disciplines, particularly astronomy.

The VO deal with data storage, transfer, management, analysis and Visualization.

Standards, codes and tools for these purposes have been developed through international collaboration.

The Virtual Observatory India project has developed several important Applications and tools, which can be used in many domains outside Science and technology.

The project is a very successful example of long term collaboration between an academic institution and the software industry.
