Friday, February 20th, 2009

The OGSA-DAI team will be at OGF-25 in Catania, Sicily from 2nd-6th March (see http://www.ogf.org/OGF25). We’re involved in the following sessions.

“Distributed data access and management with OGSA-DAI” (Monday: 9-12:30)

This session is a 1.5 hour introduction to distributed data access and management with OGSA-DAI looking at data access and integration scenarios, OGSA-DAI’s workflows and how they can realise these scenarios, case-studies and the relationship between OGSA-DAI and OGF WS-DAI specifications. This is followed by a 1.5 hour session of invited talks from representatives of the
ADMIRE, AIST, BEinGRID and LaQuAT projects who will discuss how they are using OGSA-DAI in their projects. We’ll also describe the OGSA-DAI roadmap for the next year with its focus on moving OGSA-DAI from an open source product to an open source project.

“Databases and metadata on the Grid: tools and communities” (Thursday: 9-15:30  - exact time TBC)

We have been invited to give a presentation on OGSA-DAI as a part of this session. Our presentation will focus on the evolution of OGSA-DAI. From its origins as a project to provide data access and integration capabilities to the e-Science community and, in parallel drive the development of data access specifications at GGF/OGF, through to being a de-facto data management standard in its own right. We’ll also describe our upcoming evolution from an open source product to an open source project.

DAIS-WG in the process of producing web services standards for data access.

OGSA-DAI at OGF23

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

There was a fair amount of OGSA-DAI content at OGF23 in Barcelona. On the Monday, an OGSA-DAI presentation was given at the OMII-UK: using open specifications to deliver project achievements workshop reviewing the use of OGSA-DAI in the e-Social Sciences and other applications. On the Wednesday afternoon there was a Databases in the Grid: tools, middleware and applications at which another OGSA-DAI presentation was given by Mike Jackson giving an overview as to how OGSA-DAI may be used for the Sharing data resources to enable efficient collaboration. A number of other interesting presentations were given on products that work in roughly the same space as OGSA-DAI: GDSE, GRelC and AMGA. Interestingly enough all of these projects are in the process of, or are planning to, provide a WS-DAI Relational interface. Also of interest is a comparison in performance (presentation) between the above projects.

Finally, a ninety minute OGSA-DAI tutorial was given at OGF23 organised by OGF-Europe. Mike Jackson and Elias Theocharopoulos presented to over twenty attendees.

Mike and Elias present at the OGF-Europe organised OGSA-DAI tutorial.

Slides from the event are available: Accessing and integrating structured data using OGSA-DAI 3.0
and links with WS-DAI.
