6 Month Roadmap

The OGSA-DAI roadmap until January 2008 strives to balance three important areas of activity:

  • Undertaking development work to assist specific projects in their use of OGSA-DAI.
  • Undertaking ongoing research into data access and integration using OGSA-DAI.
  • Continuing work in OGSA-DAI and standards compliance.

The main activities being undertaken by the OGSA-DAI project until January 2008 are as follows:

  • Working closely with a small group of projects to address project-related requirements to assist in their data access and integration work.
  • Porting OGSA-DQP to work with OGSA-DAI 3.0.
  • Undertaking research into the use of generic activities and dynamic code within OGSA-DAI workflows.
  • Implementing a byte-IO interface to OGSA-DAI.
  • Implementing the OGF WS-DAI relational and XML specifications using

This is in addition to OGSA-DAI's continuing commitment to provide ongoing general user support and participation in key technology conferences and workshops.

Please note that though we do not envisage a major OGSA-DAI release within the next 6 months we do expect to release patches and bug-fixes at regular intervals.
