After
an initial phase of e-Science requirements definition and computer
science technology evaluation,
edikt
has settled
into its first testbed activities, including:
-
enabling
interoperability and interchange of binary and XML data in astronomy
– tools to provide “implicit XML” representation of pre-existing
binary files
-
enabling
relational joins across terabyte-sized database tables
-
testing new data replication tools for particle physics
-
engineering industrial-strength middleware to support the data
management needs of biologists and biochemists investigating
protein structure and function (as it relates to human disease
and the development of drug therapies)
-
building
a data integration testbed using the Open Grid Services Architecture
Data Access and Integration components being developed as part
of the UK’s core e-Science programme and the Globus-3 Toolkit
