Scientific paper

The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) has operated the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO) since 1965, recording low coronal white light and Helium I and H-alpha disk images. Much of the data collected since the opening of MLSO has been made available as an on-line image archive, searchable using standard SQL queries. From its inception, the current MLSO data archive was designed to interact with Virtual Observatories (VO). It has since become a data provider of the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO), Virtual Solar Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO), and work is underway to become a data provider for the European Grid of Solar Observations (EGSO). Here we present a description of the MLSO data archive and its datasets and outline our experience with working with VO's from the perspective of a data provider. We also offer some things to consider when providing data through a VO and illustrate some of the issues we've encountered and practices we've adopted as a VO data provider. Finally, we put forward some of our efforts designed specifically for educators to access and utilize MLSO datasets.
