Abstract

Research and development activities relating to the grid have generally focused on applications where data is stored in files. However, many scientific and commercial applications are highly dependent on Information Servers (ISs) for storage and organization of their data. A data-information system that supports operations on multiple information servers in a grid environment is referred to as an interoperable grid system. Different perceptions by end-users of interoperable systems in a grid environment may lead to different reasons for integrating data. Even the same user might want to integrate the same distributed data in various ways to suit different needs, roles or tasks. Therefore multiple mediator views are needed to support this diversity. This paper describes our approach to supporting semantic interoperability in a heterogeneous multi-information server grid environment. It is based on using Integration Operators for generating multiple semantically rich RDF/OWL-based user defined mediator views above the grid participating ISs. These views support different perceptions of the distributed and heterogeneous data available. A set of grid services are developed for the implementation of the mediator views.

MGKM stands for the MetaMed Generic Knowledge Model

The structural representation of our local and global schema views are specified internally in terms of the MetaMed ODL (modl) ontology.

Two local classes are considered to be intentionally equivalent when they represent the same concept

Stores information about patients suffering from Cancer.

Stores information about patients suffering from lung tumor.

The integrator is asked to accept/modify or reject the generated types of correspondences for the interschema relationships among the local integration units

MODL_I3 (Tawil et al. 2008) is a declarative specification of the ODMG-93 Object Definition Language (ODL) (Cattel and Kufmann 1996) that is based on the RDF/OWL knowledge representational language.

Other templates can be used to generate for example a Java Data Objects (JDO) specification (Marr 2005)
