The Galactic O Star Catalog (GOS, Maíz Apellániz et al. 2004) collects photometric and spectroscopic 
information for the optically brightest galactic O-type stars. The GOS provides coordinates, spectral types, 
optical and near-infrared photometry, and other useful information, for 370 O-type stars in the Milky Way. 
The aim of this project is to increase the information contained in the GOS Catalog with the bibliographic 
compilation of near infrared (0.7-5 microns) spectroscopic studies available for the same stars. The results 
of this search will be used to compare the  spectral classifications derived from  observations in the optical  
and  the NIR, checking the consistency between classification criteria in both wavelenght domains. We are 
in a privileged position to perform this research because of our participation in the Galactic O Spectroscopic 
Survey (Sota et al. 2010), a complete medium-resolution optical spectroscopic survey of stars in the GOS. 
This project is the needed step toward building the GOS-IR, a new catalog of O-type stars observed only in 
the NIR.
