Tools are needed to federate the many data resources found in the Virtual Observatory (VO), allowing for increased productivity for VO users. We present our tool, SEDBuilder, which is a basic spectral energy distribution (SED) creation and fitting application. SEDBuilder performs an instantaneous search of VO resources, including SkyNodes (e.g. SDSS, 2MASS, FIRST/NVSS) and web-based catalogs such as Vizier as well as extracting photometry from image cutouts, federates the resulting positional matches into a broad band SED, and return a bolometric luminosity and fit parameters. Various functional forms are implemented to allow users to model stars, galaxies or AGN. Redshifts or distances can be passed, in which case a luminosity is returned. In the absence of distance information integrated fluxes are returned. In all cases the user is returned a table of fluxes as well as the necessary curation metadata.
