The Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (AVO) Project is a Phase-A, three year study for the design and implementation of a virtual observatory for European astronomy. AstroGrid is a founding member of the AVO. About a quarter of the staff effort in AstroGrid is simultaneously work for AVO and work for AstroGrid.
For more information see the public web site at

A collection of documents (eg proposals and reports) relating to AVO is on the VO section of the twiki at AstrophysicalVirtualObservatory
