The metadata component of the emerging Great Observatory data environment must support a spectrum of scientist requirements ranging from enabling the finding of whole data products and linking to the web pages of the product's host system to enabling the application-software-driven identification and retrieval of individual physical parameters from the records of relevant data products for specified variables and time spans. The Virtual Space Physics Observatory (VSPO) covers a significant part of this "requirements domain" and offers one paradigm for the emerging GO data environment. It uses the SPASE Data Model to attain the descriptive uniformity needed to accomplish its goals. Many of the scientific questions needing to be addressed in developing a "systems-level" understanding of the coupling among solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric, ionospheric, and atmospheric components of the Sun-Earth System will require easy finding and retrieval (by persons and/or by their software) of data transcending the domain of individual discipline-specific VxO's. VSPO is intended to describe and provide access to distributed data across the full sun-Earth system domain. VSPO uses the services of general repositories and discipline-specific VxO's to broaden its reach. For example, of VSPO's current registry of 344 data products, somewhat over 10% link to solar data through the Virtual Solar Observatory and a much larger fraction use the Web Services from CDAWeb and SSCWeb to obtain data and orbits directly. Such linkage will become increasingly common as additional VxO's become operational. While the SPASE Data Model provides proposed standards for the description of products and their contents, service metadata standards would be useful to make the linking of various VO services simple and efficient. We will discuss these in the context of our current VSPO development.
