Global models of the geospace environment allow researchers to better understand how the environment behaves under different conditions. In order to trust whether the model is accurate, it is crucial to compare the model results to data - i.e., validate the model. Also, models are very good at placing measurements into a global context, so the data can be better understood. With the advent of Virtural Observatories, it will become much easier to conduct data-model comparisons. This is because the model results will have similar descriptors as the data, and reside in model repositories (similar to data repositories), allowing the data and the model results to be cross-linked. In this presentation, we will describe our efforts on creating an environment in which data and models can be easily compared. We will provide real-world examples of how this can be used to better understand the geospace environment, and out progress in realizing the goal of creating such an environment.
