DataTAG project:

• objective: create a large-scale intercontinental Grid testbed involving the DataGrid project, several national projects in Europe, and related Grid projects in the USA (GriPhyN, PPDG). Explore advanced networking technologies and interoperability issues between different Grid domains
  • WP4.1 objectives: address issues of middleware interoperability between the European and US Grid domains and to enable a selected set of applications to run on the transatlantic Grid test bed
  • Grid Laboratory Uniform Environment (GLUE): collaboration effort focusing on interoperability between the US Physics Grid Projects (iVDGL, GriPhyN and PPDG) and the European ones (e.g. EDG, DataTAG). Includes a range of sub-projects to address various aspects of interoperability:
    • Glue Schema: working on common/interoperable Information specifications to be used for Resource Discovery. There is a plan for deployment and testing of the results of this work. Currently I'm taking care of maintaing an implementation-independet UML description and an wrtiting the LDAP SCHEMA implementation.
