Data management is an important topic in European Union Sixth Framework Programme grid projects. For a major uptake of Grid technology in industry, a comprehensive approach will be needed. Applications making use of grid infrastructure - such as ontologies or data mining - have a need for sophisticated data management mechanisms.
Previous TG5 meetings have shown a variety of different approaches to data management. Though it is unrealistic and possibly even dangerous to expect that all projects will converge on the same set of technologies, design choices should be made on a common understanding of the available options. To develop a unified view on Grid data management, several grid projects from the EU Sixth Framework Programme and UK eScience Programme will demonstrate how they handle data management in practice, with the particular focus on:
Technical Working Groups (TG) are part of the European Grid Concertation Initiative and funded by the European Union Sixth Framework Information Society Technology Programme (EU-FP6 IST). Their purpose is to provide a forum for discussion, exchange of information and the state-of-the-art, thus emphasizing collaboration throughout EU-FP6 IST grid projects. Technical Working Group 5 specifically addresses the topic of Grid data management.
