The VHO and CoSEC: Enabling New Science with Heterogeneous and Distributed Data

The VHO prototype allows for seamless and transparent access to a number of distributed and heterogeneous data sets. It allows for users to query and find data and use data providers in new ways. Additionally, CoSEC is emerging as a means to unite disparate services and utilities. We detail our efforts to make the VHO accessible from CoSEC and how this will lead to new science as VHO searches can now be combined with disparate data processing services. We demonstrate specific examples of VHO data access from CoSEC and it use in data processing services.
