Weighted-HR: An Improved Hierarchical Grid Resource Discovery

Grid computing environments include heterogeneous resources shared by a large number of computers to handle the data and process intensive applications. In these environments, the required resources must be accessible for Grid applications on demand, which makes the resource discovery as a critical service. In recent years, various techniques are proposed to index and discover the Grid resource...

JISC/NSF Digital Library Initiative Final Project Report: Cross-Domain Resource Discovery Project ("Cheshire")

Cross-Domain Resource Discovery: Integrated Discovery

One of the primary goals of the project has been to develop (and implement with real databases) a search and retrieval system based on international standards that is capable of searching cross-domain resources held in multiple locations. This goal has been achieved, although even more resources and services have yet to be added to the system, and truly seamless integration of these services wi...

The pursuit of knowledge by scholars, scientists, government agencies, and ordinary citizens requires that the seeker be familiar with the diverse information resources available. They must be able to identify those information resources that relate to the goals of their inquiry, and must have the knowledge and skills required to navigate those resources, once identified, and extract the salien...
