Scientific paper

Future spectroscopic surveys will grow from ˜10^5 objects currently to ˜10^8 objects in 10-15 years. These will address major areas of science, in particular the characteristics of Dark Energy, the formation of galaxies in general, and in particular the structure, formation and evolution of our own Galaxy. VO techniques will be essential in the maximal scientific exploitation of these new resources but current VO tools are relatively limited. Future VO tools will be required for analysing and extracting relevant parameters from large datasets from different origins, for data mining and for sample visualisations. They will be most useful if they provide a robust treatment of observational uncertainties, and a quantification of the statistical biases introduced by the analysis and selection functions.
