9. OGSA-DAI Scope Definition and development of generic Grid data services which provide access to and integration of data held in databases, and the management of data within a distributed environment. Database A stored, structured collection of data Accessed using an API that takes account of the structure of the data stored Includes Relational and object databases XML repositories Adequately described & managed collections of files

10. Databases in the Grid Computational Complexity Data Complexity

11. Scope of Database Services Discovery of Data by Content Query and Update Statements Metadata Management & Evolution Transactions (Flavours of) Distributed queries and updates Specialised types Encapsulated (safe) Function application Notification (driven by triggers, etc.)

12. OGSA-DAI Objectives Produce specifications for generic data services based on a common design framework consistent with Open Grid Service Architecture Design specifications as basis of standards recommendations via Database Access and Integration Services Working Group to the Global Grid Forum Deliver Grid data services software in future releases of the Globus Toolkit (GT3 December 2002) Refine identified requirements evaluate design options develop demonstrators transfer skills to the Grid community Develop reference implementations of generic data services Ensure that the Grid model and OGSA standards address fully the needs of data access and integration Ensure Grid data services meet the levels of service required performance, scalability, resilience, availability, and manageability evolution and distribution large user populations and large data volumes
