Access to solar data is becoming an increasing problem. Although the Internet has made it much easier to share data, the volume and complexity of the data are increasing rapidly, and it is often difficult to identify datasets of interest, and then locate and retrieve them. In April 2001, a proposal to create a Grid of solar data archives was submitted to the European Commission under the Information Society Technologies (IST) program. The European Grid of Solar Observations (EGSO) will provide the tools and infrastructure needed to create the data grid that will form the fabric of a virtual solar observatory. EGSO will allow a user to identify solar observations covering a given time interval, active region, or type of feature; it will locate the selected observation and then return them after any necessary pre-processing; it will also provide the facility of analyze large volumes of data at the data source. The EGSO consortium comprises 10 groups in Europe and the US, including experts in both solar data and IT. The project has been positively evaluated and has been selected for negotiations. Inputs from the solar community are now needed in order to formulate the details of the project.
