The Virtual Observatory (VO) is opening up new ways of exploiting the huge amount of data provided by the ever growing number of ground-based and space facilities. Using VOSpec, a multi-wavelength spectral analysis tool developed by the ESA-VO Team at ESAC, and new developments on scripting with VOSpec (VOScript), we have started to undertake a comprehensive study of spectroscopic and photometric data in the VO on Herbig Ae/Be stars. By studying line strengths, variabilities and spectral energy distributions, from the X-ray to sub-millimeter ranges, we aim to gain insights into processes and disk properties of a large sample of these objects. This paper presents initial findings of the spectroscopic analysis and initial spectral energy distribution classifications.
