The development of the heliospheric virtual observatories (VxOs) has led to a great improvement in the ability to discover data resources. However these data resources are in a myriad of different file formats, they often require additional calibration or processing, and may require advanced technical knowledge of the instrument to be of any use. The aim of the VxOs is to enable interdisciplinary research and this will require in many cases, more than access to the raw data files. Researchers working in different disciplines will be using data sets that they are not necessarily familiar with. SuperMAG is an example of how to solve this problem. Using ground based magnetometer data has been complicated in the past by the fact that the various networks use different file formats, different coordinate systems, suffer from various inherent data errors and finally use different baseline techniques. SuperMAG provides derived magnetometer data products that correct for all of these problems and allows the user to focus on the science without requiring detailed knowledge of the data processing or technical details of the instrument. SuperMAG represents an interface layer between the VxOs and the raw data where the knowledge needed to work with the dataset is built into the system. In the future the VxOs can take advantage of systems like SuperMAG to act as a service that provides "value added", derived data products.
