DiscoveryNet

DiscoveryNet is a collection of software built on top of the UNICORE grid system for arranging database access and knowledge discovery procedures. DiscoveryNet was begun in 2001 at Imperial College of Science. DiscoveryNet provides a means of describing workflow between analysis service providers, data owners, and scientists who arrange and execute these workflows [row03]. DiscoveryNet makes use of the OGSI components and protocols as well as its own protocol for workflows, Discovery Process Markup Language. This language is used for constructing, running, and managing gridservices, as well as recording their history.

This project is funded by EPSRC.
