This paper discusses the Development of Information Grid, its architecture, current status, and conclusion. It explores the objective to build a framework and infrastructure for integrating public information sources to support a problem-solving environment. The architecture includes components like Marker Directory, Information Broker, and Discovery Service. The paper also highlights the use of Marker Description Language and the deployment of GT4.0 Middleware for secure access to information.

Information Grid project • Virtualization of information sources • Decoupling application and information sources • Enable user access to any information, anywhere, over heterogeneous environment
Information Grid Architecture • Components • Marker Directory • Information Broker • Discovery Service • Standards • Marker Description Language • Information Grid Framework
FY2006 Goals • Information Grid Infrastructure prototype • Demonstrate concept and idea of the Information Grid • Consisting of 5 components • Information Broker • Information Source • Discovery Services • Marker Directory Services • Information Grid Web Client • Marker Description Language 1.0 (Draft) • Use research databases (research project, researcher, and publication) as a pilot databases.

Conclusion • Information Grid is a solution for sharing information on grid environment • It has 3 main components: • Marker Directory Service • Information Broker • Discovery Service • Defines standard called Marker Description Language (MDL) • Based on Web Services technology and WSRF • Be deployed GT4.0 Middleware (WS-Core) • To running Information Grid based on grid infrastructure make its secure access to any information, anywhere, over heterogeneous environment.
