Towards a Semantic Data Grid For Systems Science

What's New September 2005 Defuddle DFDL Parser Released

 

 

 

 

While technologies are emerging from the semantic and grid communities to address issues related to data federation and tracking data context and provenance-critical needs for systems-oriented research-there is as yet no coherent "semantic data grid" architecture that will allow these advances to be applied at the scope, scale, and speed necessary to support next-generation science. This project, begun in February 2005, will allow PNNL researchers to engage internal and external partners in

 

• identifying next-generation capabilities for systems science enabled by semantic data grids
• defining a coordinated set of services that can implement these capabilities
• developing a core SDG testbed
• producing prototype implementations of services focusing on tracking data provenance and providing multiple semantic views of data, and
• demonstrating key semantic grid services in ongoing systems biology research.
