Abstract:
The OGSA-DAI is middleware that provides data access and integration capabilities to a Grid consists with the OGSA vision. The role of the OGSA-DAI middleware is to present a unified programming model for application writers and mask out problems of heterogeneity and distribution. The data access capabilities of OGSA-DAI have been well-tested and demonstrated. In this work, the OGSA-DAI's data integration capabilities are investigated and evaluated. The evaluation mainly is based on two data integration scenarios. In addition, a proof of concept work which proposes a service driven data integration model is introduced and discussed.
