---++ IVOA Interoperability

Most of the work of the IVOA is done within working or interest groups (WG/IG). Standards are produced under the auspices of the WGs, whereas the IGs typically cover specific topics and could be thought of as advisory committees. All WGs and IGs are open to participation by any interested member of the astronomical community.
