Management Plan
December
2001
The challenge of building a framework to
enable the National Virtual Observatory will be met with a management
structure that supports distributed research and development. We take optimal
advantage of the domain expertise already resident in the organizations
supporting the existing archival systems, sky surveys, and source catalogs of
the astronomy community and meld this diversity with state-of-the-art
information technology. Our structure ensures strong communication and
coordination among the distributed, multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous
resources, with accountability to both the community and the funding agency.
It ensures that astronomy needs drive technology development.
