Shared Collections • Data grids support the creation of shared collections that may be distributed across multiple institutions, sites, and storage systems. • Digital libraries publish data, and provide services for discovery and display • Persistent archives preserve data, managing the migration to new technology
Using a Data Grid – in Abstract Data delivered Ask for data • The data is found and returned • Where & how details are hidden Data Grid • User asks for data from the data grid
Using a Data Grid - Details DB Storage Resource Broker Metadata Catalog Storage Resource Broker • User asks for data • Data request goes to SRB Server • Server looks up data in catalog • Catalog tells which SRB server has data • 1st server asks 2nd for data • The data is found and returned
Using a Data Grid - Details DB MCAT SRB SRB SRB SRB SRB SRB • Data Grid has arbitrary number of servers • Heterogeneity is hidden from users
