Introduction

This page describes access to the data in ASTRON's data holdings using the Virtual Observatory standards. Those standards support access to data like catalogs and images. We introduce the most important standards on this page and give some usage examples tailored to the ASTRON data holdings. If you want more advanced information on how to use the VO standards, you can start with the IVOA website for astronomers and the IVOA wiki page on educational resources. For our data holdings we use the DAta Center Helper Suite (DACHS), which offers a web interface of its own. We will link to several places in DACHS in the documentation but in principle all information showed by DACHS can also be accessed using any VO tools.
