Abstract.
The Virtual Observatory (VO) will be one of the first applications belonging to a new generation of network services which are commonly referred to as the Semantic Web. As the name indicates the Semantic Web is supposed to represent its contents and usage in a systematic and decentralized way. In order to achieve this goal a number of new protocols and standards are currently defined. The Semantic Web is still in its early stages and therefore it is not surprising that there is a moderate number of evolving standards and systems out there with more or less comparable scope. It is the purpose of this paper to evaluate the applicability of a number of those evolving technologies to the VO.
