OGSA-DAI GridServe Project


Please note that this page is no longer actively maintained. If you want to see up to date information this will be found at the www.ogsdai.org.uk web site.

OGSA-DAI is a UK-wide project collaboration between EPCC and NeSC, eScience North West at the University of Manchester, North East Regional eScience Centre at the Univeristy of Newcastle, IBM and Oracle.

These pages refer to the old project and are for historical record. You can learn more about the continuation of the project as a whole from the OGSA-DAI website.

Funded under the eScience Grid Core Programme, this project will extend the new Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) as proposed by the Globus Project and IBM to incorporate crucial data access and integration services and service support for e-Science.

OGSA-DAI is developing designs, demonstrators, prototypes and ultimately reference implementations of OGSA data access and integration services, along with crucial OGSA extensions to support e-Science. The basic services developed by OGSA-DAI will be released as part of the OGSA-based Globus Toolkit version 3.

The overall project is divided into six work packages, with EPCC responsible for three of them:

  1. Programme Management: led by Oracle Corporation.

  2. Architectural Specification: led by EPCC/NeSC.

  3. Grid XML and Semi-Structured Data Services: led by EPCC.

  4. Distributed Query Processing: led by eSNW/NEReSC.

  5. Grid eScience Services and BinX: led by EPCC.

  6. Grid RDBMS and Globus-2 Data Services: led by IBM UK.
