We propose here an architecture and feature set for a prototype Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO). The prototype will not include all the features that might eventually become part of the VSO, nor even all the features that are concurrently under development elsewhere that should become parts of the VSO's functionality. It is possible to approach the design of such a system in at least two different ways. In one (top-down), all possible features and uses of a system are studied, and the best solution for as many as possible is proposed. This is the approach taken by the European Grid of Solar Observations (EGSO). Alternately, one can approach a system design from the bottom up, and ask what the essential element or elements of the design have to be in order to have a functioning and useful system.
The VSO study group decided, after examining different approaches to abstracting the procedures for solar data identification and access, to build the “smallest box” possible around that problem, rather than attempting to draw a box around all possible aspects of a VSO. This design will be presented in the poster.
