10. 10 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk OGSA-DAI Services  OGSA-DAI uses three main service types –DAISGR (registry) for discovery –GDSF (factory) to represent a data resource –GDS (data service) to access a data resource  This will change accesses represents DAISGR GDSF GDS Data Resource locates creates

11. 11 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk GDSF and GDS  Grid Data Service Factory (GDSF) –Represents a data resource –Persistent service Currently static (no dynamic GDSFs) –Cannot instantiate new services to represent other/new databases –Exposes capabilities and metadata –May register with a DAISGR  Grid Data Service (GDS) –Created by a GDSF –Generally transient service –Required to access data resource –Holds the client session

12. 12 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Grid Data Service XindiceMySqlOracleDB2  Data source abstraction behind GDS instance –plug in “data resource implementations” for different data source technologies –does not mandate any particular query language or data format Heterogeneity

13. 13 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk DAISGR  DAI Service Group Registry (DAISGR) –Persistent service –Based on OGSI ServiceGroups –GDSFs may register with DAISGR –Clients access DAISGR to discover Resources Services (may need specific capabilities) –Support a given portType or activity

14. 14 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Analyst Registry DAISGR Factory GDSF registerServicefindServiceData  Data resource publication through registry  Data location hidden by factory  Data resource meta data available through Service Data Elements Location

15. 15 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Start up OGSI Container GDSF DAISGR 1. Start OGSI containers with persistent services. 2. Here GDSF represents Frog database.

16. 16 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Registration OGSI Container GDSF DAISGR 3. GDSF registers with DAISGR. Frogs: GSH

17. 17 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Discovery OGSI Container GDSF DAISGR 4. Client wants to know about frogs. Can: (i) Query the GDSF directly if known or (ii) Identify suitable GDSF through DAISGR. Frogs: GSH Mmmmm … Frogs? FindService: Frogs GSH: GDSF

18. 18 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Service Creation OGSI Container GDSF DAISGR 5. Having identified a suitable GDSF client asks a GDS to be created. Frogs: GSH GDS CreateService GSH: GDS

19. 19 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Perform OGSI Container GDSF DAISGR 6. Client interacts with GDS by sending Perform documents. 7. GDS responds with a Response document. 8. Client may terminate GDS when finished or let it die naturally. Frogs: GSH GDS Perform Document Response Document

20. 20 http://www.ogsadai.org.uk Interaction Model: Summary  Only described an access use case –Client not concerned with connection mechanism –Similar framework could accommodate service-service interactions  Discovery aspect is important –Probably requires a human –Needs adequate definition of metadata Definitions of ontologies and vocabularies - not something that OGSA-DAI is doing …
