The Meeting will take part during Thursday May 10th and Friday May 11th

The first part of the workshop will give a detailed introduction into the Virtual Observatory, it's standards and processes. In the second part we will work with these standards in hands on sessions using typical VO tools like Topcat, Aladin and Splat to discover and access tabledata, images and spectra.

The VO Day will be held by Hendrik Heinl, both GAVO/ARI.
