Abstract:
Distributed data resources can be heterogeneous in their formats, schema, amount, hardware/software implementation, management policy and etc. If people want to access and share these heterogeneous data resources, there should be software that can hide the heterogeneity of resources and support the functionalities of shared resource in a standard way. A procedure for integrating some special geographic information data on Grid is presented in this dissertation. The basic procedure and relating performance issues are discussed and the implementation is based on OGSA-DAI Grid middleware is described.
