Abstract

The GriPhyN virtual data system provides a suite of components and services for data-intensive sciences that enables scientists to systematically and efficiently describe, discover, and share large-scale data and computational resources. We describe the design and implementation of such middleware services in terms of a virtual data system interface called Chiron, and present virtual data integration examples from the QuarkNet education project and from functional-MRI-based neuroscience research. The Chiron interface also serves as an online ‘educator’ for virtual data applications. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
