          SI3: Support richer metadata for effective discovery

          Semantic Search Engine for SRB

          This is the final report for this workpackage. Please send any feedback to the author. SI3 Report [PDF 449Kb]. 

          The Semantic Search Engine for SRB has been developed as part of the SI3 DART workpackage.

          The Storage Resource Broker (SRB) is a datagrid application developed by San Diego Supercomputer Centre. It is middleware aimed at federating collections of distributed data and presenting them to the user as a coherent collection. Our implementation extends the SRB application with a layer of semantic web technologies to enable ontology-based semantic searches. Semantic searches will become an invaluable tool for information discovery as multidisciplinary datagrids continue to expand.
