The National Virtual Observatory is a distributed computational facility that will provide access to the ``virtual sky''-the federation of astronomical data archives, object catalogs, and associated information services. The NVO's ``virtual telescope'' is a common framework for requesting, retrieving, and manipulating information from diverse, distributed resources. The NVO will make it possible to seamlessly integrate data from the new all-sky surveys, enabling cross-correlations between multi-Terabyte catalogs and providing transparent access to the underlying image or spectral data. Success requires high performance computational systems, high bandwidth network services, agreed upon standards for the exchange of metadata, and collaboration among astronomers, astronomical data and information service providers, information technology specialists, funding agencies, and industry. International cooperation at the onset will help to assure that the NVO simultaneously becomes a global facility. .
