Lessons in scientific data interoperability: XML and the eMinerals project.

چکیده
A collaborative environmental eScience project produces a broad range of data, notable as much for its diversity, in source and format, as its quantity. We find that extensible markup language (XML) and associated technologies are invaluable in managing this deluge of data. We describe Fo X, a toolkit for allowing Fortran codes to read and write XML, thus allowing existing scientific tools to be easily re-used in an XML-centric workflow.

متن کاملBuilding the e-Minerals Minigrid
Following a design and consultation phase, an initial eMinerals minigrid has been set up which includes compute and data resources together with the software and middleware to enable their use. The compute resources are extremely heterogeneous (comprising Beowulf machines, IBM SP's, Condor pools as well as a plethora of Linux boxes) and are distributed across the sites associated with the proje...
متن کاملPortal Framework for Computation within the eMinerals Project
This paper describes the eMinerals minigrid infrastructure and motivates the need for a portal based environment as an interface to this infrastructure. The paper then describes the ComputePortal developed by the project as a portal interface to the compute resources within the minigrid. Its architecture, functionality and integration with other portals in use by the project are discussed. Fina...
متن کاملTowards Data Integration for Computational Chemistry
Increasingly, understanding complex problems in computational chemistry requires the use of several applications as components of computational workflows. Unfortunately, this process is severely hindered by a lack of data interchange standards. The eCCP and eMinerals UK eScience projects are developing a framework to facilitate the interoperability of such applications. Data sets are serialised...
