Abstract
The Semantic Grid is an extension of the current Grid in which information and
services are given well defined and explicitly represented meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. Existing Grid Services deal with knowledge in the form of metadata and its associated semantics in an implicit fashion, providing no way to share this knowledge with other Grid components. Semantic Grids not only share computational and data resources, but also explicitly share and process metadata and knowledge.
In the last few years, several projects have embraced this vision and there are already successful pioneering applications that combine the strengths of the Grid and of semantic technologies. However, the Semantic Grid currently lacks a reference architecture, or a systematic approach for designing Semantic Grid components or applications.
We propose a Reference Semantic Grid Architecture (RSGA), extending the Open
Grid Services Architecture, by (a) explicitly defining the mechanisms that will allow for the explicit use of semantics and (b) defining the associated knowledge to support a spectrum of service capabilities. We call the semantically enhanced OGSA “Semantic OGSA”, or S-OGSA.
