Abstract
We propose an e-Science cyberinfrastructure to support the scientific processes of a solar-enabled water production and recycling application. It forms the key resource sharing backbone that allows each participating scientific process to expose its sensor, instrument, data, and intellectual resources in a service-oriented manner, accompanied by domain-specific resource knowledge. The cyberinfrastructure integrates sensor grid, service-oriented architecture, and semantic Web in an innovative manner. We discuss the design of the ontology to describe the resources in the project, such as data, services, computational and storage resources. An object-oriented database is designed for flexible and scalable data storage. Data management issues are discussed within the context of the project requirements. Various data services are created to meet the needs of the users. In this manner, the cyberinfrastructure facilitates the resource sharing among the participants of the project. Complex workflows are also supported by the proposed cyberinfrastructure.
