Semantic Grid Resource Discovery in Atlas

  • Conference paper

Abstract

We study the problem of resource discovery in the Semantic Grid. We show how to solve this problem by utilizing Atlas, a P2P system for the distributed storage and retrieval of RDF(S) data. Atlas is currently under development in project OntoGrid funded by FP6. Atlas is built on top of the distributed hash table Bamboo and supports pull and push querying scenarios. It inherits all the nice features of Bamboo (openness, scalability, fault-tolerance, resistance to high churn rates) and extends Bamboo’s protocols for storing and querying RDF(S) data. Atlas is being used currently to realize the metadata service of S-OGSA in a fully distributed and scalable way. In this paper, we concentrate on the main features of Atlas and demonstrate its use for Semantic Grid resource discovery in an OntoGrid use case scenario.

This work is partially funded by FP6/IST project OntoGrid.
