During the last couple of years, observers have started to make
plans for a Virtual Observatory, as a federation of existing data
bases, connected through levels of software that enable rapid
searches, correlations, and various forms of data mining. We
propose to extend the notion of a Virtual Observatory by adding
archives of simulations, together with interactive query and
visualization capabilities, as well as ways to simulate
observations of simulations in order to compare them with
observations. For this purpose, we have already organized two
small workshops, earlier in 2001, in Tucson and Aspen. We have
also provided concrete examples of theory data, designed to be
federated with a Virtual Observatory. These data stem from a
project to construct an archive for our large-scale simulations
using the GRAPE-6 (a 32-Teraflops special purpose computer for
stellar dynamics). We are constructing interfaces by which remote
observers can observe these simulations. In addition, these data
will enable detailed comparisons between different simulations.
