Description	We present an operator algebraic formulation of chiral conformal field theory and show how it is related to subfactor theory. Appearance of a modular tensor category through representation theory and the role of alpha-induction machinery are explained. We also exhibit the current status of the relations between our operator algebraic approach and the one based on vertex operator algebras.
