In today's research environment, the use of advanced information technologies increasingly gains importance, since most of science work relies on different data sources and tools distributed over the Internet. So called "Virtual Observatories" are describing, organizing and interconnecting those resources in a standardized way. As a result, scientific work can be done in homogeneous web-based environments with the possibility to integrate tools and data sources from different scientific fields. This paper will point out two best practice examples coming from the planetary science community. The first solution, the Automated Multi Dataset Analysis (AMDA) was extended during the FP7 project EuroPlaNet with Venus Express data, which can be analyzed and manipulated in this tool. The second solution, the FP7 project Integrated Medium for Planetary Exploration (IMPEx) builds on top of AMDA and integrates modelling tools like the HYBRID code into a standardized environment in order to intercompare observational data with simulation data. Preliminary results and important design aspects of those tools will be presented and put in relation with their advantages and scientific potential in plasma physics.
