The CDS services, SIMBAD, VizieR and Aladin, are important building blocks of the Virtual Observatory. New tools and additional links are being brought forward through collaboration in the European Astrophysical Virtual Observatory consortium, and with NVO, VO-India and other VO efforts. We will present the current status of the three core services at CDS. New functionnalities using the interoperability standards discussed in the frame of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (VOTable, Uniform Content Descriptors, Simple Image Access and hierarchical data tree, etc) will also be shown.
