Many large scale research programs with massive data requirements (e.g. the Particle Physics Data Grid, the Biomedical Informatics Research Network) use SRB to manage research data collections. Despite this broad adoption, the potential of SRB and Data Grids is not fully utilized by the general research community. The reason for this under utilisation comes in part from the complexity of the Data Grid model and the lack of quality interfaces to SRB, making it difficult to use and configure.
rnYourSRB, is a system developed in the course of our research which provides an intuitive interface to SRB and aims to enable a broader community to benefit from SRB. The system also simplifies the use of SRB's awkward-to-initiate federation schemes, making SRB more suitable for use as the core of an organisational level research repository. In addition, our approach to federation makes the YourSRB system suitable for field workers who can off-line curate and annotate data, and subsequently federate their data with a primary store when network connectivity is available. YourSRB also implements data description and retrieval capabilities, enabling the effective management of massive data sets over multiple storage resources.
许多具有大量数据需求的大型研究程序（例如，粒子物理数据网格，生物医学信息学研究网络）都使用SRB来管理研究数据收集。尽管得到了广泛的采用，但普通研究团体并未充分利用SRB和数据网格的潜力。利用率不足的部分原因是由于数据网格模型的复杂性以及SRB缺乏质量接口，使得难以使用和配置。 rn
YourSRB，是在我们的研究过程为SRB提供了直观的界面，旨在使更广泛的社区受益于SRB。该系统还简化了SRB笨拙的启动联盟计划的使用，使SRB更适合用作组织级研究存储库的核心。此外，我们的联合方法使YourSRB系统适合现场工作人员，他们可以离线管理和注释数据，然后在网络连接可用时将其数据与主存储联合。 YourSRB还实现了数据描述和检索功能，从而可以有效管理多个存储资源上的海量数据集。
