Seamless Integration of Data Services between Spatial Information Grid and TeraGrid based on Broker-based Data Management Model

摘要

Most of the space agencies have built Grid systems to manage large volumes of spatial data archives and products. However, the heterogeneous data structure, the distributed storage location, and the gradual progress of building data service systems, make such spatial grid systems to be grid islands. The broker-based manage model can hide complexity and heterogeneity of spatial data sources, so that the research on broker-based data service is meaningful to promote inter-Grid collaboration for earth observation applications. This paper discusses the special problems of spatial information integration and some features of broker-based data management model. We demonstrate the prototype of building broker-based model to integrate heterogeneous data grid. This work securely provides querying and managing geospatial data and services, and transparent access to the related sources under Grid and Web Service environment. The paper also describe our experiences of case study on seamless integration with Purdue TeraGrid Data by using Storage Resource Broker, which is based on the extensible data service interfaces of China Spatial Information Grid.
